Welcome to the historic Sheriff Purnell House, a truly unique and beautifully restored residence circa 1915, set on 4 private acres in the heart of Berlin’s Historic District. Rich in character and thoughtfully updated, the main home showcases timeless architectural details, including restored woodwork, an elegant English fireplace, and refined finishes that honor its original design while offering modern comfort and livability. The property extends well beyond the main residence. A separate carriage house offers a versatile living and entertaining space, complete with a kitchen and full bath, along with an upper-level area that can function as a guest suite, office, or additional bedroom. Behind the carriage house, the reimagined barn provides additional flexibility, currently used for storing farm equipment and featuring a dedicated creative space ideal for an art studio, workshop, or hobby room. The outdoor setting is equally compelling, featuring a tranquil rear patio surrounded by lush greenery and an expansive backyard—perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the privacy and natural beauty of the property. Set across four expansive acres, the grounds offer exceptional privacy, mature landscaping, and a true estate presence—rare for this location—while remaining just 15 minutes from the beaches of Ocean City and Assateague Island, positioning it as an exceptional primary residence, elegant second home, or serene vacation retreat. A seamless blend of historic charm, modern functionality, and coastal lifestyle, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Berlin’s most distinctive properties.
