Property Description

Amazing opportunity to own a piece of Delaware history dating back to the early 1700’s. “William GoForth’s Three Acre Plot” came to include the “Lester House”. Now a 1940 Colonial with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths on .33 acres, which blends the modern conveniences of central A/C, a new roof (2024), new siding and gutters, updated electric, new hot water heater (2026), electric and tankless propane heat, modern windows, a private gated driveway and public water and sewer with unique historical charm. There is a mysterious wall safe belonging to Delaware’s Treasurer and Receiver of Taxes during WWII, a meeting/poker room in the 2nd floor of the barn, multiple staircases leading to the 2nd floor of the residence, a wood burning stove in the parlor, tall ceilings and all the unique woodwork and craftsmanship that you would expect from a historic property. The modern-day Saint George’s Delaware is a tight-knit, walkable community featuring a Country Store/Cajun Restaurant and Bar, Blues on Main, Pop Culture Soda Shop, the Creamery at Saint Georges, and the Michael N. Castle Trail – a canal front walking path connecting Chesapeake City and Delaware City. The home is being offered As-Is at a price significantly below assessed value. If you’ve ever been in the market for a one-of-a-kind, non-cookie cutter home with a rich history and modern conveniences in a walkable community – don’t miss this rare find!
