417 S MAIN STREET

BERLIN, MD 21811

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. The reimagined and restored barn provides additional flexibility, 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 barn, a separate carriage house offers a versatile space, 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 creating a true family retreat. 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. Ideally positioned for families, the property is also near Worcester Preparatory School, a highly regarded independent school, offering added convenience for those prioritizing education and long-term lifestyle planning. 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—well suited as a primary residence, refined second home, or private retreat.
