As the warmer months roll in, so do those who visit Delaware and begin to consider having a home in the First State. If Delaware real estate is on your mind there is no better time than now.

The past few years have been a boon for Sussex County real estate. Just like other reputed builders in the region are providing land for sale, Sussex County also is making progress in procuring large areas and converting them into residential areas. Private parcels of land are rapidly being sold and transformed into new developments both at the beach and in inland Sussex County. If you are looking to live in a developed community packed with modern amenities the options are endless and the time is now. We are currently one of the featured builders in the breathtaking community of Showfield in Lewes and lots are selling fast.

Yet perhaps you aren’t looking for a clubhouse and cozy neighbors… perhaps your idea of moving to Delaware is to enjoy a little more space and a little more nature. You should definitely check it out here at Innisfil Real Estate.

When we speak with potential Delaware homeowners for the first time we are often are asked a few of the same questions, and we’d like to answer some of them and help you get a step closer to your dream home today. We hope the following information helps answer your questions and assists you in your Delaware home search.

The 2018 FAQ’s

– Is it a necessity that we already own our lot? No! Our builder Brian and our team are always open to assisting any real estate agency and potential clients with identifying the perfect piece of property to build your home on. We’ve often gone out on site with clients to look at a lot to ensure it is large enough and properly situated. We’ve gone out on site and marked trees to ensure that beautiful old Pine tree isn’t knocked down. If you don’t already own a lot, we are happy to help you search Delaware find the perfect real estate.

– Where in Delaware will your company build? We can build NEARLY ANYWHERE within the state of Delaware, and we’re always open to look at and consider lots in Maryland on the Delmarva Peninsula. That includes waterfront property, wooded property, and any lot without an established builder tie in. We’re happy to build your home wherever you’ll be happy!

– We’ve heard building a custom home is very time-consuming and expensive… Not when you build a Lessard home! With a Lessard home, you can change the configuration of the walls and the interior layout at no additional cost to you, and should take full advantage of itFor those looking for the truly custom home, our team can design a custom floor plan and design it to be exactly what your needs at your price point. All our customers also have the option of completely altering the interior layout one of our preexisting floor plans. Every Lessard Builders home is conceptualized and personalized to suit the needs of that unique homeowner.

– Doesn’t Lessard just build smaller homes? We’ve been building homes for 4 generations; we design and build homes of all sizes and all styles. Our current model, The Saltaire located within Showfield in Lewes, is a divine 6,000+ sq. feet. We just finished up a beautiful 4,000+ sq. foot home and a 2,000+ sq. foot home all in the same month. Whether you want a spacious three floor Nantucket inspired homes, a cozy Italian-Spanish Colonial style ranch home, a modern Farmhouse or something completely different– we’re comfortable building your home as extravagantly or as simply as you’d like.

– What style of homes do you build? We can design and build any interior/exterior style home you’d like. Our builder and owner Brian is a whiz when it comes to listening to a customers’ ideas and creating them a concept based on their visions and dreams. Our architects will then create your plan, we’ll tweak it if necessary and then we’ll get to work with you on selecting your options while we build your perfect home.

Self-tours are welcomed throughout the event and guided-tours with a member of the Lessard Builders team will also be available for those who want a more intimate tour of the intricately designed new model home designed by landscape design Melbourne.

Lessard’s four generations of building experience and client feedback inspired this home design that is equal parts distinctive and elegant, livable and grand. Named after Saltaire New York, The Saltaire is part of Lessard’s newest lines of homes; all inspired by and named after Long Island cities, towns and quaint villages where Lessard Builders was ‘born’ and built homes over 70 years ago. The Saltaire model home exudes a classic coastal spirit while also integrating a multitude of elegant features:

-First Floor Master Retreat

-Second Floor Guest Suite

-Outdoor Bistro and Patio with a couple of garden benches

-Concealed Butler’s Kitchen

-Dog Room

The Saltaire was designed to offer consumers a lens through which they can envision, shape and create their dream homes. In this fashion, The Saltaire will also dually serve as Lessard Builder’s new Selection Center. The new Lessard model home in Showfield will be open daily beginning November 25^th, Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. To learn more about building your dream home with Lessard Builders visit The Saltaire model home in the community of Showfield, http://www.lessardbuilders.com, or call the Lessard office 302-645-7444.

The community of Showfield, located directly off Gills Neck Road in Lewes, is Sussex County, Delaware’s most anticipated premium home community and acts as the perfect location for Lessard Builders’ luxurious newest model home. Showfield offers homeowners incomparable resort-style community amenities along with the unparalleled opportunity to reside within a very short distance of downtown Lewes, Lewes Beaches and Cape Henlopen State Park.

Lessard Builders is excited to announce the groundbreaking of our newest Lessard model home in the iconic 132 acre Showfield custom home community now under development along Gills Neck Road in Lewes, Delaware.

The Showfield community stands out by offering potential homeowners the opportunity to build a luxury home in an historic setting, all while within walking distance of downtown Lewes and its’ number of exceptional restaurants, shops and boutiques, and world-class beaches.

The Showfield community features a preserved historic barn on the property and borders a 16-acre natural pond. In addition, Showfield will provide homeowners a resort-style outdoor pool and clubhouse, and easy direct access to the neighboring Junction Breakwater Bike Trail.

“Our family is really excited to be a part of developing Showfield and working together to capture the quaint and welcoming feeling of historic downtown Lewes. The land on which Showfield is situated has been a part of a local family’s lives for generations. We love that! To spread this beautiful piece of land that holds so many memories, and then design for people a home which they’ll be creating new generations of memories in. What’s also exciting for us at Lessard Builders is that with Showfield, we’re growing our team and circling back to our roots when my father and grandfather built homes from the ground up. It’s important to us that our homeowners can feel the love, time and energy we personally put in to each home we build,” Christina Lessard shared.

“Bringing to the market fresh ideas and concepts is the spirit of Lessard Builders,” says Brian Lessard, third generation builder and Chief Executive Officer. “Lessard Builders strives to modify, adapt, and design the perfect custom home with the help of great equipment from an oilfield equipment rental service. We don’t want to fit homeowners in a box, and with our newest floor plans for Showfield, homeowners will have even more choices, possibilities, and ideas for inspiration. We love to listen to them talk about their lifestyle so together we can create a home that meets their individual needs and desires. Within the Showfield model there are areas of the home for multiple generations to enjoy; areas where grandparents, parents, children, and animals can live together. From the playroom upstairs, to the openness of a huge kitchen to the tranquility of a screened-in porch, there is something for each member of the family. A second, private, screened-in porch off the downstairs master suite allows the homeowner a quiet sanctuary. Finish off the downstairs with a game room, a wet bar and wine tasting area, a movie room, or a man cave and you have created a home that is both fun and practical. Our goal is to provide areas that are in harmony with one another and flow together but allow the luxury and privacy that’s required.”

Today I feel grateful for my work environment. I just finished reading a few articles on the evolution of office space trends, in recent years closed office spaces were transformed to an open work environment that eliminated walls and grouped co-workers around multiple tables. Since then studies have shown that personalities and work ethics are clashing, affecting productivity and the open work environments are now incorporating work space pods. They are very small resemble the look and size of a helicopter cockpit. Yikes. So, what do mini work space pods have to do with a model home for sale in Lewes Delaware? I work from the professionally decorated model home in The Villages of Five Points and I appreciate working here for the cozy surroundings and convenient locale. The comfort of being at home working from the couch, at the dining room table, on the patio in the sun or working from the sun room on a breezy day totally beats an eensy weensy cubicle pod. The kitchen is just a few steps away when you need it and a cup of coffee at Arena’s Deli, dinner at FishOn! or pastries at Touch of Italy is a quick walk around the corner at The Villages of Five Points Town Center.

Villages of Five Points Boulevard

Lunch anywhere on 2nd Street downtown Lewes is only a few blocks away and taking a “brain break” to soak up the sun, sand and waves is easy to do before, during or after work. Often times I catch the sunset or sunrise at one of the beaches nearby in Lewes or kick off the morning with views of Oyster Rocks, Broadkill Beach, Lewes Beach, Cape Henlopen State Park, Lewes Boat Ramp, Canalfront Park off of Pilottown Road or Prime Hook Wildlife Preserve.

The Sonoma, Lessard Builders Model Home

I’m going to miss the Sonoma model in The Villages of Five Points East. We’re currently selling it with a leaseback program so that means that we’ll rent it back from it’s new homeowner for a year or two while we finish building new homes in The Villages of Five Points East. For me, it might take that long to part with being so close to Lewes, Delaware every day.

King’s Ice Cream on 2nd Street Downtown Lewes, Delaware

Another perk to working from a professionally decorated model home is the lack of distractions! Everything is perfectly placed, stylish, aesthetically pleasing, comfortable, your favorite Sirius Radio station plays throughout the entire house and everything is already clean. If you have ever worked from home – you’ll understand the frustration of distractions like folding laundry, dusting, dishes in the sink and that to do list just keeps nipping at you until it is finished (which is never). If you’re interested in the Sonoma at The Villages of Five Points East, you’ll be happy to know that the home can be purchased completely furnished – from top to bottom. You’ll just have to move right in! Even if you are not yet ready to purchase a new home – you should still stop in to check it out! Email us at Homes (at) LessardBuilders.com, call (302) 645-7444 to make an appointment or just stop in from 11 pm to 5 pm. We’re open daily except major holidays.

We build Lessard Homes throughout the state of Delaware with offices in both Kent County and Sussex County. Our last model home was the very popular Monterey home design with a first floor master and opening entertaining floor plan. The current model keeps the entertaining floor plan with the first floor master home design and boasts a layout preferred by a retiree moving to the Delaware beach that would have friends and family visit often. Durable, easy to look after and suitable for every room in the home, vinyl flooring is the ideal easy to maintain flooring for your home or business.

The Lessard Builders model home at The Villages of Five Points is the Sonoma model. Remember that looks can be deceiving when you build a craftsman style home! The Sonoma ranges from 2500 to 3500 square foot and when people walk into the model for the first time they often comment on how much larger the home is than it looks.

Fall In Love With Your Next Home – Make It Yours!
As one of the biggest investments in your lifetime you home is the place that you go to unwind, relax, entertain, cook, raise your family and sometimes even work. The best thing about building a custom home is that you won’t have to force your family’s lifestyle into a home design or layout.

You can make changes to the floor plan without additional cost to you. In fact, every time we build a new home the homeowner tweaks the plan to reflect their lifestyle. These changes typically occur in the master bathroom, closets, entrance, kitchen and outdoor living.

The dining area & screened in porch Photo by Leafo Photo

Build In Your Preferred Location
Lessard Homes can be built in any home that does not have a builder tie-in exclusive to the community. We can build in other communities, on your lot or help you find a new home community suits your wants and needs. If you are interested in a specific area – just let us know, we’re happy to help!

Can Lessard Builders Build Other Floor Plans?
Yes! We offer five home designs at the Villages of Five Points because we know that they will meet the HOA guidelines and can fit on the size and footprint of the lots. We are more than happy to go over additional floor plans with you to evaluate how they can fit on the lots at The Villages of Five Points East.

“Extras” Are Not Always Extra!
Dedicated to building true custom homes that fit your family’s lifestyle, you have the flexibility to alter or build any floor plan on any Delaware development without a builder tie-in. Lessard homes, just like most Houses For Sale in Calgary, include finishes and features that are typically considered extras or upgrades in the new home construction or real estate industry.

Work With The Builder, Brian Lessard
We’re a family owned and operated custom home builder and our goal is to build you a quality home to build a last time, not to meet a business plan quota or build hundreds of units per year. While building with Lessard Builders you will work hand in hand with third generation builder Brian Lessard. Brian oversees every home we build and can talk to you about energy efficiency, sturdy products and trends from over 35 years of new construction experience.

The Lessard Difference Is In The Details

Teller Wines Philosophy: “To inform, inspire and share the passion of great wine through wine education”

A few weeks ago, I stopped into Teller Wines for the first time. Lessard Builders was hosting a happy hour at our model home for the Women’s Council of Realtors in Sussex County and picking up wine was on my “to-do list”. I had bumped into the owners, Kevin and Catherine at a few chamber mixers and liked the fact that were they local. It was even better that they were right down the street from The Villages of Five Points.

I walked into the store thinking it would be a “typical” liquor store setup – guy behind the counter that says hello and the usual everyday wines grouped by region or type. I was pleasantly surprised that the setup and staff went above and beyond the usual “fend for yourself” liquor store experience. The wines are arranged by flavors which saves you the time it would take to decipher whether the notes might match to your sweet, fruity, dry or tart liking. If the layout doesn’t jump start you in the right direction, the friendly and knowledgeable staff will. I love wine and I know what kind I like but choosing wine for a group of forty people can be a little tricky. I especiall
y find it difficult to select for the super sweet taste buds since I prefer a very dry wine. Kevin happened to be present at the time and was exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful for what I was searching for. I was able to choose a variety of reds, whites and he helped me select the perfect sparkling wine to put the finishing touch on the “Fifer’s Peach Bellini” I was whipping up (with real Fifer’s peaches)! The day of the Women’s Council of Realtors event went so well – we were fully stocked with wine and the six gallons of Fifer’s Peach Bellini was a gone by the end of the evening. Catherine even stopped in to support the event – how fantastic was that?

I’ve stopped into many wine stores throughout the state and I’m very impressed at the overall Teller Wines experience. It is the perfect place to stop in to test out a new bottle and if you are nearby on a Saturday, they have free wine tastings from 3pm to 6pm. Locals rave about the quality of their events and how much you actually learn about the wines you are tasting. In fact, I’ve had several conversations with homeowners and realtors that say it is a great place to stop in, try a new wine with a friend or meet a new one. If interested – you should sign up for their newsletter or check their calendar for annual events like a wine expo (yay!) or their Memorial Day BBQ (pictured below).

I did a little research and realized that in addition to being local and overall nice people they also give back to community. In just a few minutes of searching I found out that they have given back to The Food Bank of Delaware Culinary School, the Beebe Medical Foundation, St. Jude’s Apostle Church and Coastal Concerts.

Last week, a couple that we recently built for stopped into the model to show their friends and while on the topic of wine they mentioned how much they love going to the events at Teller Wines and I found out that the story of Catherine and Kevin is just as charming as they are!

From their website: “When a Chinese immigrant girl falls in love with an Irish boy from Pittsburgh, the result is a 40-year partnership of love, fun and wine. After college on opposite coasts, Kevin and Catherine were married. We began our careers and raised our family (son Sean and daughter Caitlin) in Columbia, Maryland. After family, our passion has been wine, travel and food. When we attended our first educational wine weekend in St. Michaels, Maryland, we were hooked.”

Following my interactions with both Catherine and Kevin, it was no surprise to read that they have spent the past two decades journeying across five continents to expand their wine wisdom. I’m just happy that they decided to land it here in Lewes, Delaware. I can’t wait to go again! Headed to a wine tasting? Let’s go together!

Check out a few of Catherine’s blog posts on Rehoboth Foodie under Chasing The Grape!

What people are saying about Teller Wines Lewes:

Nice wines, excellent selection. I drove from DC (about 3 hours) to visit, and I plan on going back at least once a month. There is a free wine tasting every Saturday from 3pm to 6pm. Looks like fun – I wish I had had time to stay for that.

– Guy S., Yelp Review

Now that we have lived here a few months and even able to visit other stores, we will stick with the Saturday tastings at Teller. The reps that come in to do the tastings always are knowledgeable about their products, the region it came from and how it was produced. The staff and owners always acknowledge your interests and always show appreciation for your patronage. A nice tasting to meet people and learn about wines from other enthusiasts.

– Robin K., Yelp Review

This is the best place to get wine. The owners are so knowledgeable and helpful. Great wine tasting event every Saturday. An elegant addition to Lewes, Delaware.

– Linette G., Foursquare Review
