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.
