Welcome to "America's Coolest Small Town". This charming home is situated on a serene and quiet street, one block from the picturesque, historic Main Street and a quick walk into the heart of downtown Berlin and all that this award winning town has to offer. The professionally landscaped front yard and sizable front porch welcome you home. Sip your morning coffee and watch the sunrise from the adorable front porch swing! Natural light beams into the spacious open-concept living and dining areas, highlighting the updated, gourmet kitchen. Stainless steel appliances, Silestone quartz countertops, and an oversized custom island create a space worthy of entertaining. Handblown glass pendant lighting, created by Berlin's own Jeffrey Auxer Designs, completes this elegant space. Custom built-ins in the living room and engineered hardwood throughout. Large owner's suite overlooks the private backyard garden and comes complete with a gorgeous and just-renovated ensuite bathroom. Custom porcelain honeycomb tilework and modern brass fixtures add a touch of elegance to your morning routine. Custom trim-work and built-in closet complete the nursery/guest room. Third bedroom directly across from the updated hall bath would make a perfect guest space or office. The large fenced-in backyard will inspire you to relax and enjoy outdoor living at its finest. Custom-built rear deck was designed with durability and convenience in mind; weather-proof composite decking and vinyl railings that fully enclose the space. Steps lead out to the beautiful garden and spacious yard below, complete with stone firepit and fenced-in dog zone. Access the spacious two-car garage from the backyard or driveway! Floored attic and detached garage will meet all of your storage needs and there is plenty of room for parking in the extra large driveway. No HOA! This beautiful property is walking distance to restaurants, shopping, breweries, live music, parks, and a long list of annual special events including the weekly summer Farmer's Market. Minutes to the beaches of Assateague Island and the famous Ocean City boardwalk. Don't wait; this gem won't last long!
