Video Tour: https://vimeo.com/70087281 The setting of this home could not be more immaculate, impeccable, complete, than the original owner had intended, building this home in this very spot more than 100 years ago. The home is perfectly placed to take full advantage of the panoramic, spectacular views of the river, where it shares the shore. As we watch the tide come in, and go out, throughout the days, the months and years, time passes so quickly. Today we have a modern world and, relatively, only a few true relics of days gone by. This home that we have here, is a beautiful, historic, souvenir from around the time of the 13th Census, the birth year of Jimmy Stewart and Bette Davis, and the very year that Henry Ford produced the first Model T automobile. Imagine this– through the sunny days, starry nights, brutal snows of winter and turbulent hurricanes of summer, for more than 100 years, this home has endured. Actually, this home has more than endured. It has flourished with the capable efforts of her modern owners. While maintaining the integrity of the home, this home has been lovingly brought to her former glory with a few modern comforts added. Having original, but restored, flooring, molding, doors, and design, this is a period home you will not want to miss. Great care has been given to represent the home as it was intended, as completely and impeccably as when it had been built, in 1908. Modern updates include insulation, heating updates and the inclusion of more modern baths and an up-to-date gourmet kitchen. Best of all is the modern erosion control that has been installed at the shoreline, to help protect this 100 year old homestead and her property for the next 100 years. This home is special and distinctive, although not at all pretentious. This home offers wrap around porches for lazy afternoons and gazing upon panoramic river views! This home offers large spacious interior spaces, with 5-6 bedrooms and comfortable common areas, perfect for entertaining friends and family, or perfect for quiet nights alone. The spaces are ample, the finishes are beautiful…but this home begs to be lived in. The durable finishes have worn well through the years, bringing unmatched character and charm, and are sure to prevail throughout many more decades, or yet another century. With more than 125’ of water frontage, a 90’+pier, on one of the most desirable rivers on the East Coast, you can park your boat and jet skis, too! The Patuxent River views are expansive and beautiful! The recreational potential, on this waterway, is spectacular! Boating, sailing, fishing, tubing and swimming are at your service on the Patuxent River! And, if wildlife is an interest, osprey and herons are in abundance! The location of 7802 Mill Creek is in the historic town of Benedict, population of about 260 (2010 Census). In the late 17th Century, Benedict was a fishing village. During the War of 1812, Benedict marks the location where the British started their march which led to the burning of Washington, DC and the Battle of Baltimore. During the Civil War, Benedict was the location of Camp Stanton, where troops were formed with freed slaves to serve as soldiers.
