Step into history with The Mill House, a residence that proudly stands as a testament to over two centuries of charm and craftsmanship. Originally built circa 1759, this exquisite home has been lovingly and meticulously restored by Milton Finch in 1975, a master craftsman renowned for his work as the chief silver chaser at Samuel Kirk and Son’s in Baltimore.
This unique home, one room wide, features 19th and 20th-century additions, offering a total of 4,100 square feet of living space. It showcases the elegance of 18th-century wood floors, complemented by eight fireplaces—three gas and five wood-burning (currently capped). The home retains its original character with authentic box locks, H hinges, and brass knobs, paying homage to its rich history.
The Mill House is more than just a home; it’s a sanctuary of beauty and tranquility. Nestled on 3/4 of an acre of meticulously landscaped grounds, the property is perched on a hill, offering breathtaking views of the serene headwaters of the South East Creek, a once-navigable waterway now a peaceful stream.
Ample storage is provided with two attics and three dry basements, ensuring space for all your needs. Located at the quiet southern edge of town, The Mill House offers the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility, where traffic is light, and the atmosphere is serene.
Owning The Mill House is not just acquiring a home; it’s becoming the custodian of a piece of American history, where every corner tells a story.
