About 217 N Broad St
The Dr. Dorsey Lewis House — A Middletown Landmark! One of Middletown's most distinguished historic manor residences, this magnificent Colonial Revival home occupies nearly an acre in the heart of town. An expansive, columned front porch welcomes you into a grand center hall, generously proportioned rooms, beautiful hardwood floors, rich architectural details, and multiple fireplaces. Offering six bedrooms and three full and one half baths, the residence was featured as a 2011 Decorator Show House. Outside, a private backyard oasis features an in-ground swimming pool, spa, inviting patios, and mature landscaping. An extraordinary collection of outbuildings includes a detached two-car garage, a 14-bay carriage building, and a 2,700-square-foot detached pole-building currently serving as a decorator/retail storefront with its own six-car parking lot. Lovingly maintained by its current owners, this remarkable estate offers a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a treasured piece of Middletown history. Truly one of a kind and nearly impossible to replicate today!
