Here's a unique property with a tie to Lewes' industrial past. The original section of this house dates to the early 20th century when it was the home of the Fred L. Myers Company, a local brush manufacturing business that would later become Hocker Manufacturing after moving to Kings Highway ( currently The Brush Factory Stores ). In the 1970's, the factory was converted to a single family home and was significantly expanded in the 1990's to encompass over 4,100 s.f. of living space on nearly an acre of land. While the living areas in both the old and new sections are open and inviting, the four/five bedrooms offer privacy for guests and family members alike. The previous owner was an architect who masterfully combined the old and new spaces, but provided double doors to separate the structures into two distinct spaces, both with two bedrooms and two full baths, as well as two kitchens. With this in mind, the house could easily be used a as a bed and breakfast or for use by an extended family. The large yard, one of the biggest in-town parcels is beautifully landscaped and private. You could easily add a garage in the side yard and a pool in the back yard and still have space left over. The adjacent lot at 128 McFee can be available as well.
