Rare to Market! Wind your way down the quiet, picturesque community of Drake Knoll towards the end of the cul de sac. Here is where you'll find 10 Drake Knoll - a home unlike any you've seen before! This impressive home, tucked between mature trees and lush foliage, underwent an expansive renovation in 2019. The large unimproved parcel behind the property is also for sale, enabling you to have your own private oasis just minutes away from downtown Lewes and steps away from the Lewes-Georgetown Trail. This additional parcel is over half of an acre and feels like something out of a storybook, with a small stream running through it, a charming footbridge and multiple gardening beds. The home itself is 3,440 square feet and features 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, a fully renovated kitchen, two separate living areas, a sunroom, and a large additional room or office attached to the upstairs primary suite. In the last few years, the current owners have made extensive improvements, including upgrading all of the plumbing and electrical, adding recessed lighting, and replacing almost all of the windows and most siding. The interior and exterior have both been freshly painted after the installation of a new load-bearing wall, upgrading to wood floors throughout, installation of new interior doors and hardware throughout, and a new front door. The renovations don't stop there! A new downstairs bedroom and full bath were also created, the side entry mudroom space was renovated, and the downstairs heat pump was replaced in 2023. The first level of the home offers two separate living spaces, one with a cozy gas fireplace, and the other featuring pocket doors to close off for more peace and privacy. The kitchen was completely redone and features stainless steel appliances, including a 6 burner gas range, built-in microwave, two sinks, a large island, accented floating shelves, and counter-to-ceiling tiled herringbone backsplash. The kitchen flows into a large dining space creating seamless entertaining options. Tucked away off of the dining room is the sunroom, with a vaulted ceiling and the back deck is easily positioned for outdoor dining or cocktails. The downstairs of the home also features a bedroom and Jack and Jill full bathroom with tiled, rain head shower and a side entry foyer with laundry area. On the second level are 4 additional generously sized bedrooms, two with attached baths, and one additional full bathroom in the hallway. The upstairs main primary suite includes a private balcony overlooking the rear of the property. Plus - the additional room or office space lined with cedar is a pleasant surprise and bonus area for the home. Outside, you'll have access to a 2 car garage via a side entry and a large shed for storage. This small, intimate community of charming Lewes homes is located close to everything, including the Lewes-Georgetown Trail, Beebe Healthcare, Downtown Lewes, Lewes Beach, and the Gordons Pond State Park Area. Drake Knoll is a charming, unique community of historic reproduction homes. Homes in Drake Knoll aren't available often, so be sure to take advantage of this rare opportunity to call this one yours.
