UNIQUE INVESTMENT POTENTIAL! 138 A+B South Washington Avenue is a uniquely renovated duplex, offering the rare opportunity to live in one unit and rent the other! Or - rent both! As you pull up to the front of the home, you'll be welcomed by an open front porch, perfect for sipping your morning coffee or spending time in the afternoon sun. The Junction and Breakwater Trail is just steps away! Enter Unit A through the front door. This 1,211 square foot, 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath unit features a huge updated kitchen, cozy living room with gas fireplace, powder room and laundry room on the first level. Brand new washer and dryer installed in November 2024! The open-concept kitchen has updated cabinets and appliances and a tile backsplash. Upstairs, you will find two large bedrooms and an updated full bathroom. With no rental restrictions in place, this unit has had an impressive short term and long term rental history.


Follow the boardwalk-style decking on the side of the home, past the two luxury outdoor showers, to the private, fenced-in backyard where you'll find the entrance to Unit B: the real showstopper! Also featuring 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, this unit is slightly larger at 1,300 square feet and has been extensively renovated with high end details throughout. You'll enter the unit through the enclosed porch with floor-to-ceiling screen windows and space for dining, relaxing, or entertaining. Two large sliding doors give way to the living space with a wood burning fireplace and a large, open kitchen. The kitchen has been extensively updated and boasts modern conveniences, including state-of-the-art appliances, updated countertops, and a gorgeous tile backsplash. A large center island is perfect for entertaining and cooking prep, while the plethora of 2 inch hickory cabinets offers an incredible amount of storage space! Don't forget to open the secret cabinet doors that lead to a storage pantry and powder room!. Climb the oak stairs and you'll find two spacious bedrooms with lots of closet space and a spa-like bathroom full of upgrades and luxurious little touches. The master bath was crafted with a double cemented tile wall and two additional beams providing additional support from underneath. New, ThermaTru French doors in the primary bedroom also lead to a beautiful second-story deck, overlooking the lush backyard, ideal for relaxing in the sun or having an evening cocktail. An additional, well thought detail are the low profile smoke detectors. Unit B has never been rented but could be an impressive performer on the rental market.

The outdoor space at the property is another gem in itself. The expansive side decking provides an enchanting pathway that leads to a nicely landscaped backyard. Fully fenced in - the yard also holds a shed for all of your gardening needs. This home is centrally located moments away from all that downtown Lewes has to offer. World-class dining, cozy local shops, and the picturesque Junction and Breakwater Trail are at your fingertips! This updated duplex offers a unique opportunity to live in one unit and generate rental income with the other or rent both units in this small, coastal town.
