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.

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.
