Property Description
Prime Commercial Opportunity on Coastal Highway — 18355–18357 Coastal Hwy, Lewes, DE. Rare opportunity to acquire a highly visible commercial property along the Coastal Highway (Route 1) corridor in Lewes. This offering includes two adjoining parcels—18355 and 18357 Coastal Hwy—featuring two separate buildings and excellent highway exposure with both ingress and egress directly onto Route 1.
The property includes a two-story building with approximately 2,200 square feet of finished space, two bathrooms, and an unfinished basement, along with a separate warehouse building of approximately 3,200 square feet with two bathrooms. A large parking area between the buildings provides convenient access and flexibility for customers, employees, or operational use. A new roof with a 15-year warranty was installed in March 2026, adding long-term value and peace of mind. New furnace office area in house, duct in basement for ac/heat upstairs has new mini split. Shop has new roof, two new mini splits and old furnace taken down in warehouse.
Positioned along one of Delaware's most traveled coastal corridors, this property benefits from strong daily traffic counts, excellent signage visibility, and proximity to Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, and surrounding resort communities.
Property Highlights:
Two commercial buildings totaling approximately 5,400 SF
Direct Route 1 ingress and egress
High-visibility frontage on Coastal Highway
Large shared parking area
New roof with 15-year warranty (March 2026)

Surrounded by expanding residential communities, established commercial uses, and the region's strong tourism economy, this property offers flexible use potential and exceptional exposure in one of Sussex County's most sought-after commercial locations.
