About This Home

As of June 2025

Charming Cottage Just Steps from Award-Winning Downtown Berlin

Welcome to your perfect home base in the heart of one of America's most celebrated small towns! Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac less than a mile from Main Street in Berlin, MD, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage offers the rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful neighborhood living just a short distance from everything this social community has to offer.

Recently recognized as one of Main Street America's "Top 10 Great American Main Streets" for 2024, downtown Berlin is brimming with charm, history, and energy. From eclectic shops and local breweries to weekly farmers markets, art strolls, and live music events—you’ll find it all just a short stroll from your front door.

Set on a serene street, this home blends modern comfort with classic small-town appeal. Inside, you’ll find an open-concept living area filled with natural light streaming through the upgraded sliding doors off the kitchen that lead to a large deck—ideal for entertaining or relaxing. The remodeled kitchen is both stylish and functional, and the living and dining spaces flow seamlessly for easy everyday living.

Step outside to your private fenced backyard, which backs to a wide-open field—accessible via your own gate. A charming 16x10 garden shed built in 2020 offers ample storage and includes a 100-amp power panel, making it perfect for hobbies or workshop use.

The interior features thoughtful design choices, including plank flooring in the main living areas, updated lighting, and a remodeled primary bath with a double vanity and oversized step-in shower. Three comfortable bedrooms and a conveniently located laundry closet with full-size washer and dryer make for effortless daily living. Additional storage is available in the floored attic complete with shelving system, easily accessed via pull-down stairs.

With a new HVAC system (2024), no HOA restrictions, and all of Berlin’s best dining, shopping, entertainment, and community events just a short distance away, this home is not just a place to live—it’s a lifestyle.
