About this home
Welcome to the Blacksmith’s House — an iconic Lewes landmark where 18th-century character meets modern coastal living. Set in the heart of downtown Lewes, this rare 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers 1,772 square feet of beautifully balanced historic charm and contemporary comfort. The front of the home dates back to circa 1750 and is believed to have been moved from Pilottown Road, making it one of the area’s most treasured and recognizable properties. Thoughtful updates over the years have enhanced daily living while preserving its irreplaceable character. Warm wood tones, period details, and a cozy fireplace anchor the home’s historic ambience, while modern conveniences ensure effortless livability. The first level features a sunny living room with wood burning fireplace, kitchen and dining area. There is also a full bath on this level. Upstairs, you'll find an enormous primary suite with private balcony access and a secret door leading to an attic space, ripe with future potential. There are two other bedrooms, a half bath and another living area on the second level.Outdoors, the property continues to impress. A large fenced-in yard features mature landscaping, a serene koi pond, fire pit and a newly built back deck perfect for entertaining or quiet relaxation. A shed adds extra utility, and three off-street parking spaces are a true luxury in downtown Lewes. The exterior received a full, fresh repaint in November 2025, ensuring the home shines from first impression to final detail. The home has also been a successful short-term rental property. While currently enjoyed as a residential home, the property’s TCH zoning offers a unique range of commercial and mixed use possibilities, making this an exceptional opportunity for business owners, investors, or those seeking flexible live-work potential in a premier location. Offering a rare combination of history, privacy, flexibility, and location, the Blacksmith’s House stands as one of Lewes’ most beloved properties—an opportunity to own a piece of the town’s past while embracing the possibilities of today.
