4 S 1st St S, Denton, MD 21629

This historic mixed-use building offers flexible interior space previously operated as a restaurant and later as a coffee house. Exterior features include a large wrap-around porch, a patio with a firepit, and grounds designed for outdoor seating and entertaining. The property also includes a spacious basement with a full bathroom, which can support storage needs or be used as a foundation for adding residential space. A park-like setting with open space and a large pond contributes to the property’s atmosphere and event-ready layout.

The property is located in Historic Downtown Denton along the Rt 404 direct corridor between the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and the Baltimore-Washington metro area to the Delaware/Maryland beaches. For access and visibility, the site benefits from the established flow of travelers and regional connectivity associated with the Rt 404 corridor.

Functionally, the building supports multiple operating models, including commercial, mixed use, or residential use, with a documented permitted-uses table available in the materials package. Existing recreation and gathering areas—porch, patio, and outdoor grounds—pair well with hospitality uses such as dining, bar service, or a venue format. The basement’s full bathroom and the note that Town ERUs for increased water and sewer capacity are grandfathered in add additional utility for operators planning future build-outs. An adjoining 0.5+/- acre parcel is also available for added outdoor space, parking, or additional business opportunities.
