Coastal Style Homes for Sale in Lewes, DE

Search Coastal Style Homes for Sale in Lewes, DE

Coastal is the single most common style designation in the Lewes listing data, and it describes a recognizable set of choices rather than a historical period. Expect shingle or lap siding in soft colors, a covered front porch, gables facing the street, open interior plans built around a great room, and an entry raised above grade. The style spans the older streets near Lewes Beach and the planned communities inland along Route 1, including Coastal Club and Showfield. Bryce Lingo & Shaun Tull has worked Lewes since well before the current building wave. Compare a community example at Coastal Club.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a house coastal style?

Shingle or lap siding, a covered porch, street-facing gables, an open plan centered on a great room, and a raised entry. It is a design vocabulary rather than a specific historical period.

Where in Lewes are these houses found?

Both in the older sections near Lewes Beach and the canal, and throughout the newer planned communities inland along Route 1 such as Coastal Club, Showfield and the surrounding developments.

Are these houses new construction?

Many are, though the style also appears on renovated older houses closer to town. The year built and any recent renovation appear on the individual listing pages.
