Welcome to easy coastal living in desirable Lewes, Delaware. This three-bedroom, two-bath home in Anchors Run combines an open, comfortable interior with exceptional outdoor living and a private backyard setting. With no homes directly behind the property, the home overlooks a community berm filled with wildflowers and mature greenery, creating a peaceful backdrop that feels surprisingly removed while remaining convenient to Lewes and Rehoboth Beach. Inside, the open-concept main living area brings the kitchen, dining room, and living room together in a bright, inviting space. Luxury vinyl plank flooring extends throughout the main living areas, while the builder's enhanced lighting package provides ceiling lighting throughout the home. At the center of the space, the kitchen features quartz countertops, 42-inch soft-close cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, and an oversized center island with breakfast-bar seating. Upgraded KitchenAid appliances include a refrigerator with icemaker and water dispenser and a dishwasher. Pendant lighting over the island adds both task lighting and visual interest. The adjoining dining and living areas provide plenty of room for everyday living and entertaining. Custom drapes with sheers frame the windows, while sliding glass doors draw the eye toward the private backyard and open onto a covered rear porch. From there, the home's living space continues outdoors onto an expansive paver patio extending across the rear of the home and wrapping around one corner. Designed to accommodate separate areas for dining, lounging, and entertaining, the patio features a handsome stone sitting wall that provides additional casual seating, a bubbler fountain that creates an attractive focal point, and a dedicated built-in grill area for outdoor cooking. Both lawn care and irrigation are included in the HOA fees, making it easy to maintain the landscaping while leaving more time to simply enjoy the outdoor space. Back inside, the primary suite is tucked toward the rear of the home, taking advantage of the same private views. A raised tray ceiling adds architectural interest, while the spacious en suite bath includes a dual-sink vanity, linen closet, and large walk-in closet. The upgraded Roman-style tiled shower is extra deep and features a full-length bench and two independently controlled shower heads. Conveniently tucked away near the primary suite, the dedicated laundry room keeps everyday chores close at hand while remaining separate from the main living areas. Two additional bedrooms are located toward the front of the home. The third bedroom is currently used as a home office, offering an easy option for buyers who want dedicated work-from-home space while retaining the flexibility of a true three-bedroom floor plan. All three bedrooms are wired for ceiling fans. The second full bathroom has also been thoughtfully upgraded and features a custom frameless glass shower panel, giving the space a clean, contemporary finish. A convenient mudroom connects the main living area with the garage and provides access to the full unfinished basement. Already equipped with a builder-installed rough-in for a future bathroom, additional wall outlets, and overhead lighting, the basement offers substantial potential for future finished space. The garage adds another modern convenience with an installed EV charger. Residents of Anchors Run enjoy community amenities including a swimming pool and clubhouse with fitness center and meeting room. Located less than 5 miles from historic downtown Lewes and less than 7 miles from Rehoboth Beach, this home offers an ideal combination of privacy, flexible living space, thoughtful upgrades, and easy access to the best of coastal Delaware.

Better than new and upgraded far beyond anything the builder offers, this 4 bedroom Ashbrooke home in Middle Creek Preserve delivers 2,479 finished square feet and over $130,000 in premium improvements since settlement. From the moment you step through the new fiberglass entry door with transom, you'll notice the difference: engineered flooring throughout (no carpet anywhere), premium LED recessed lighting on dimmers, custom window treatments including remote-controlled blinds, and a bright open layout designed for easy one-level living. The showstopper kitchen was completely reimagined with Calcutta Gold quartz counters and backsplash, a waterfall island with quartz cascading down both ends, a Monogram induction cooktop that the owners rave about (fast, precise, and effortless to clean), a built-in wall oven and microwave, under-cabinet lighting, and a California Closets pantry. The main-floor laundry room was upgraded too, with added cabinetry over the washer and dryer. The great room flows to a dining area with added windows and designer lighting, all overlooking one of the best backyards in the community. And that backyard truly delivers. Step from the EZ Breeze enclosed porch with sliding vinyl panels onto a 33 x 16 paver patio with two sitting walls, shaded by a 16 x 14 retractable awning, all within a fully fenced yard backing to open community green space. Professional landscaping was completed in the front, side, and rear yards, so the curb appeal matches the outdoor living space. Morning coffee, evening dinners, room to play. This is outdoor living done right. Downstairs, the finished lower level adds roughly 770 square feet of living space, including a spacious rec area and a versatile fourth bedroom with egress, currently outfitted as a mirrored home gym, plus generous storage and a plumbing rough-in ready for a future full bath. Additional upgrades include a frameless shower door in the hall bath, a finished and painted garage with insulated doors, a welcome center drop zone at the garage entry, a SimpliSafe security system, and a high-efficiency glass slider to the porch. Even the mechanicals are cared for, with the tankless water heater and gas furnace both recently serviced. Screens for every window and the slider are included.

New construction by GRIT Coastal, just a few blocks from downtown Lewes and the canal. This is a home built differently. It was thoughtfully designed, exceptionally finished, and constructed to a standard rarely found in the coastal market. The exterior pairs NuCedar shake siding with custom aluminum railings and Andersen windows and doors, creating a timeless coastal aesthetic that feels at home in Lewes without trying to imitate what has already been done. A screened front porch connects the house to the street and neighborhood—the way a Lewes home should. Inside, the first floor is open, bright, and intentionally simple. A generous living and dining space flows directly into the kitchen, where custom Amish-made cabinetry and millwork are paired with a Wolf induction range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, Cove dishwasher, and Taj Mahal-inspired quartz countertops. A gas fireplace wrapped in soapstone anchors the living room. The main level also includes a private bedroom suite with its own full bath and walk-in closet, making it equally suited for guests or true first-floor living, along with a separate powder room. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, including the primary suite. One of the secondary bedrooms includes its own loft—a unique space for a kids’ hideaway, playroom, or additional storage. In total, the home offers four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths. Wide-plank, 9–10” engineered white oak flooring with a substantial 4mm wear layer runs throughout the home. Bathrooms are finished floor-to-ceiling in porcelain and ceramic tile, with radiant heated floors adding another level of comfort. Custom Amish-made millwork continues through every bathroom. And unlike most new construction, the house is being sold fully furnished, with thoughtfully selected solid-wood furniture throughout. It is genuinely turnkey from day one. Outside, a heated, fully automated pool is surrounded by a pervious-paver patio, creating a private backyard retreat with an outdoor shower and a roughed-in natural gas line ready for a future grill. Behind the finishes is the part of the house GRIT Coastal cares about just as much: how it performs. The home includes natural gas, dual electric heat-pump HVAC systems, tankless hot water, 320–400 amp electrical service, and a full residential fire-sprinkler system. Smart-home infrastructure is already built in, including smart entry, three-zone Sonos audio, and prewiring for motorized shades at the large windows, security cameras, and a whole-home mesh network. The result is a home that doesn’t just photograph well. It’s built to live well, perform well, and age well. All within easy walking distance of Second Street’s shops and restaurants, Canalfront Park, and the Lewes beaches. Fully furnished. Turnkey. Ready for immediate occupancy.
