Designed with both comfort and entertaining in mind, this spacious residence showcases 10-foot ceilings, vaulted ceilings, tray ceilings, and an abundance of architectural volume, creating an impressive sense of openness throughout the first floor. Two inviting living areas just off the kitchen in the rear of the home are thoughtfully connected by a stunning double-sided fireplace, providing warmth, character, and a beautiful focal point for both spaces.

The thoughtfully designed first-floor primary suite offers a private retreat, complete with tray ceilings, a luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring a soaking tub, generous walk-in closet, and beautifully appointed finishes. A second bedroom on the first floor offers flexibility for guests with a full hall bathroom adjacent to it.

The well-appointed kitchen features stainless steel appliances and a large center island that opens naturally to the surrounding living and dining spaces. With two dining areas and two living areas, there is plenty of room for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations. Step outside to your private rear yard, where the addition of a paver patio creates the perfect setting for morning coffee, al fresco dining, or relaxing evenings under the stars. The property has been superbly maintained and is truly move-in ready. Beyond your front door, enjoy the lifestyle that makes this community so special, with an impressive selection of amenities designed for recreation, relaxation, and social connection. And when you're ready to venture out, the beaches, restaurants, entertainment, and vibrant nightlife of Ocean City are only a few miles away. Nearby historic Berlin adds another layer of charm, with its delightful shops, restaurants, galleries, festivals, and seasonal events. This is more than a home—it is an opportunity to enjoy a beautifully appointed residence in a vibrant, amenity-rich community while being just minutes from everything that makes Maryland's Eastern Shore so desirable.
