Description

ZEN Coastal – A Boutique Retreat at Lewes Beach: Welcome to ZEN Coastal, a distinctive Lewes Beach home with abundant indoor-outdoor living & the character of a boutique coastal retreat. Only five houses stand between you and the beach, while historic downtown Lewes is approximately half a mileaway—an easy, leisurely walk to restaurants, shops, and cafés. Another rarity this close to the beach: parking for up to eight vehicles, including two covered spaces. Set on an oversized, beautifully landscaped lot, this approximately 2,751-square-foot home invites you to enjoy coastal living in every season. Walk the beach in the morning, bike to nearby Cape Henlopen State Park, dine al fresco, sink into the hydrotherapy spa, gather around the fire pit, or unwind beside the gas fireplace.Elevated Living & Possible Owner’s Retreat: The inverted floor plan places the main living spaces on the third level, where vaulted ceilings and exposed beams give the open kitchen, dining, and living areas a relaxed sense of character. Outdoor spaces unfold in several directions, making theupper-level feel connected to its coastal surroundings. The glass-enclosed ZEN Room opens to two balconies—one offering one of the home’s best views, the other with a gas grill and dedicated gas line. Across, a slider from the dining/living area opens to a deck stretching alongside the house. One end is set for dining under the leafy crown of mature trees, creating a beautiful green outlook and natural privacy. Farther along, the primary bedroom opens to a covered sitting area illuminated by string lights. With two bedrooms on this level, the smaller could become a generous walk-in closet or dressing room, creating an owner’s retreat while leaving family and guests greater privacy on the second level. With everyday living elevated, the exterior elevator is especially convenient for groceries, luggage and moving between floors. The second level adds flexibility, including a dedicated office with its own exterior entrance.Outdoor Spaces with Personality: Then there is life beneath the house. A sheltered entertainment area brings together al fresco dining, TV, bar with sink and ping-pong, with the hydrotherapy spa, outdoor shower and fire pit nearby. The adjoining Zen garden has its own personality, with mature plantings, stone, arbor, bubbling fountain and Buddha. When it rains, a bamboo downspout sends water splashing across the stones at the Buddha’s feet—one of the thoughtful details that makes ZEN Coastal unlike the typical beach house. Elsewhere, discover a porch swing overlooking the spa, a tucked-away bistro area, a comfortable bench or a distinctive catwalk with a church pew leading to the elevator.Five Houses from the Beach: Here, the beach becomes part of everyday life rather than an excursion—morning walks along the bay, an afternoon with a book or one last stroll before dinner. And beach days are easy. A dedicated cabana keeps beach gear close at hand and includes a full-size refrigerator/freezer with ice maker and water dispenser. Just outside, the bar and entertainment area creates a natural gathering spot for cold drinks, a game of ping-pong and conversation before or after the beach. Bicycle storage is conveniently located beneath the wide front staircase.A Canvas for Every Season: Summer means spontaneous beach days and dinners beneath the trees. Spring and fall bring bike rides, beach walks and evenings outdoors. In cooler months, work out in theexercise room, sink into the warm spa, pour a glass of wine by the fire pit or settle in by the fireplace.More than a beach house, ZEN Coastal is a canvas for creating memories—morning walks, dinners beneath the trees, quiet moments on the balconies, laughter around the fire pit, and evenings under the stars. With places to gather, retreat, and linger, all just 5 houses from the beach and a leisurely walk from the heart of Lewes, ZEN Coastal is ready - for your next chapter.
