About This Home

As of August 2024

If you are looking for a fabulous home with land and privacy, coupled with community amenities, let me introduce you to 20159 Long Meadow Lane. This five-star home is in the well-established and friendly community called “Ridings at Rehoboth” conveniently located in Lewes. Built by Schell in 2014, this “Ainsley floor plan” is an open concept ranch home featuring three bedrooms plus a flex room, a two-car garage, a four seasons sunroom and more.

Much can be said about the curb appeal of this home with flower boxes accenting the front windows and a nicely landscaped, irrigated front lawn. Nature lovers will enjoy the visits from birds, butterflies, and wildlife while gardeners will appreciate the existing organic gardens and plants including wild blueberry bushes and lavender. The backyard overlooks a hardwood forest with a stream running through it offering endless privacy and spectacular views of nature. The owners paid a premium for this lot because it backs to conservation land ensuring the landscape won't change. The backyard is expansive and features a brick paver patio for outdoor entertaining, a storage shed, an outdoor shower, a private well for irrigation and buried downspouts.

The inside of the home is striking with gorgeous hickory hardwood floors throughout most of the main level. One of the best features about this home is the thoughtful selection of the windows across the back of the home. From the moment you enter the front door, you can look to the back of the home and see the wall of windows and transom windows overlooking the inviting four seasons sunroom and back yard. Extensions offered by the builder were added when the home was built providing nicely sized rooms. The kitchen is well appointed with granite countertops, maple cabinetry, subway tile backsplash and upscale pendant lights over the breakfast bar. The kitchen, dining room and living room open to one another making them the perfect entertaining space. A gas fireplace is flanked by windows in the great room. The former screened porch was converted to an all-season sunroom complete with heat and air conditioning, custom blinds, ceiling fan and luxury vinyl flooring. The grand sized owner’s suite is tucked privately in the back of the home and features an ensuite bathroom with a tiled shower, frameless shower door and two walk in closets.

This home has been lovingly maintained by the original owner and utility costs are amazingly low due to the energy efficient features. Seller providing a one year home warranty to the Buyer(s). There is a community clubhouse with an outdoor pool and fitness center for your enjoyment. Come see this amazing home and its proximity to all that the coastal area has to offer in terms of shopping, sandy beaches, fabulous restaurants, and state parks.
