Welcome to 136 Gills Neck Road in the picturesque town of Lewes, Delaware. Rich in history, the Fisher House is a historic waterfront home that dates back to 1680. This 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath, canal front home tastefully blends the allure of the past with modern conveniences. Lush landscape frames this charming shingle style home with a gambrel roofline and cozy front porch. Upon entry, you will be impressed with the beautifully preserved architectural elements including the four wood-burning fireplaces, wide plank hardwood floors, exposed beams, and intricate moldings at every turn. The updated addition, completed in the early 1990’s, seamlessly integrates modern amenities, providing a perfect balance of historic charm and contemporary living. The spacious kitchen includes vaulted ceilings with skylights, ample cabinetry, a pantry, electric cooktop, dual ovens, and a large island.

The additional 2 bedrooms on the first level feature custom built-in shelving, and spacious walk-in closets. These rooms are adjacent to a hall bath featuring a stall shower, dual sinks, and a custom soaking tub. Approach the 2nd level by one of two original, hidden stairwells where you will find 2 more bedrooms, the 4th wood burning fireplace, a cozy sitting room and 1 full bathroom. Each room offers interesting angles and roof lines that you simply will not find in today’s architecture. As you meander outdoors, you will enjoy the privacy of the side courtyard complete with a spacious brick patio, 6’ privacy fence, beautiful landscaping, outdoor shower, and storage shed. The property continues to the adjacent, waterfront parcel, shaded by beautiful mature trees, manicured lawn and approximately 80 feet of rip rap along with a private 36’ floating dock complete with water and electric - ideal for your boat! Situated in the heart of historic Lewes, the Fisher House offers the utmost convenience and endless opportunities for recreation and exploration!

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.
