Property Description
Impeccably maintained 5bdrm/2bth late-Victorian gingerbread "cottage," just steps to Rehoboth Beach's boardwalk and beautiful beaches. In the same family for over 70 years, this historic home was built by the son of Delaware's 50th Governor, has had only three owners since its construction in 1899, and is found on the historic register. Original interior features include hardwood floors, stained glass windows, claw foot tub, fireplace and other period details. (Original WBP is now decorative.) Light up the airy front wrap-around porch with the laughter of friends and family, or simply find a quiet reading spot to call your own. The home's exterior is original wood gingerbread bevel, and grounds feature an outdoor shower, storage shed and 10"x12" maid's quarters with 1/2 bath, AC, & room for twin bed. If you appreciate the historical value, architectural integrity, and inviting charm of a classic beach cottage, this one's for you. Adjacent lot owned by same seller NOT included in sale.
