Cottage is located only a few blocks from Historic Second Street with great restaurants, shops, and boutiques. It is only a short drive to outlet malls with tax-free shopping. Consider including a trip on the ferry to Cape May, New Jersey, or kayaking from the new canal park. Historic Lewes has much to offer. Take a self guided walking through town or an evening cemetery tour through the Historic Society. Walk to the canal and take a tour of one of the few surviving lighthouse ships or charter a boat to go fishing on the Delaware Bay. Tuesday evening concerts can be heard at the town library which is a ten minute walk from the cottage. There are several parks and beautiful gardens in Lewes. Visit the wonderful farmer's market on the grounds of the Historic Society on Saturday morning. There are always wonderful things happening in Lewes!
This home was purchased in 2009 and is decorated with all new beds, living room furniture, and charming antiques. Art quilts adorn the walls throughout the cottage and may serve as your inspiration to create your own works of art. You will certainly be able to relax and enjoy the gardens and screened porch area.

Why the Owner Chose Lewes
We looked for a second home for several years to enjoy with our family and to live in after we retire. We fell in love with Lewes and finally found a wonderful historic home. We love walking into town for coffee and baked goods or to the town library. The community is warm and inviting and there is a vibrant art community. When we come to visit, we don't want to leave. It feels like home. It is our "Fortress of Solitude"!
The Unique Benefits at this House
We believe that our little street is one of the best streets in Lewes. In one year's time we have become close friends with our neighbors and we love the kindness and sense of community that the town of Lewes embodies. Be careful if you stay on Jefferson Avenue as you may find yourself looking for a second home!

We loved our stay in the “Theadora Kane House.” This historic cottage is delightful with many charming details, including decorative wall quilts, gas stove with brick hearth in kitchen, claw footed tub and beautiful wide-planked floors (both original). Other amenities we enjoyed: nice pool with lots of floats & inflatables, outdoor sound system, outdoor shower, wonderful screened porch w/ double-doors that open into kitchen, WiFi (worked flawlessly), HDTV in living room, DVD video library, pillow-top mattresses, complimentary bicycles, and two-car driveway. Downtown Lewes is an easy walk through the historic district. We enjoyed evening strolls to King’s ice cream after a day at the beach. We’d gladly stay again.
