308 N Main StreetBerlin, MD 21811Price: $769,000

Great character or impressive updates?.... Most homes have one or the other. But what would happen if you could have both? We're talking about a beautiful home loaded with character, an impressive 1930's staircase, and the kind of trim details you don't find in modern homes.... Then toss in a fully updated gourmet kitchen that was built for serious cooking, updated custom tiled bathrooms, and a lot more space than you might expect; and you're talking about 308 N Main Street. Built in the 1930s and thoughtfully updated throughout the 2020s, this six-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers approximately 2,515 square feet just a few short blocks from downtown Berlin. ------- And the front porch? It's a 'Wow factor' that impresses before you even open the front door! Measuring approximately 28 by 10 feet, this covered gathering space has room for actual furniture, actual company, and an afternoon you hadn't planned on spending at home. Inside you'll find that the appeal goes well beyond 'just fresh paint'. The renovated kitchen pairs quartz countertops and a butcher block island with a six-burner GE Café natural gas range-top, a new Bosch dishwasher, and a dedicated beverage center/coffee bar with its own second sink. Then set your gaze on the impressive walk-in pantry, which adds storage that older homes don't usually offer. The generous primary-suite includes a newly (and fully) updated bathroom and an oversized walk-in closet/dressing room..... while six total bedrooms give you flexibility for guests, work, hobbies, and everyday life. Let's jump into all the other details....details that "matter": A dedicated laundry room with built-in storage and space equipped for two washers and two dryers, a renovated half bath, updated bathroom fixtures, and a floored-attic offering substantial additional storage. Outside, the roughly 9,000-square-foot lot makes a strong case for staying home a little longer. The fully fenced backyard offers real privacy, with established perennial gardens, mature landscaping, raised garden beds, and updated brickwork adding texture and purpose to the outdoor space. A rear screened porch gives you another place to settle in, this time overlooking your own backyard. Out front, you're just a short walk or bike ride from downtown Berlin's shops and restaurants, with plenty of off-street parking when you return. ----- Now let's be clear. This is a home with history and location....and its original details are part of the attraction while the updates and upgrades steal the show. Offered at $769,000, it brings together six bedrooms, private outdoor space, two distinctly different porches, and a location that cannot be beat.
