About This Home
Experience the charm of America's Coolest Small Town! Located in the heart of Berlin, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome in Franklin Square offers an unbeatable combination of low-maintenance living and prime location. Just a short stroll from downtown’s vibrant boutiques, dining, and seasonal festivals, this home features an open-concept main level with a spacious kitchen, breakfast bar, and a private rear patio perfect for relaxing. Upstairs, the primary suite is accompanied by two guest bedrooms and a full bath. Recent updates include a brand-new refrigerator and laminate plank flooring. This property has successfully secured preliminary short sale approval from the lender, significantly streamlining the path to closing. While the current list price has been adjusted to align with specific lender-mandated processing requirements, the seller and lender remain highly motivated and will actively entertain all market-driven offers. This is a rare opportunity to bypass the typical short sale wait times. Location, location, location is the key here—you're just a short stroll from Berlin's vibrant downtown. Enjoy unique shops, diverse dining, lively events, and the weekly farmers market without ever needing your car! The convenience continues with easily walkable schools and medical facilities. Attached shed and pull-down attic offer plenty of storage options. Plus, you get two assigned parking spots right outside your door.
