About this home
Step Back in Time, Live in Luxury: Welcome to The Milford (c. 1746)
For the first time in a decade, the crown jewel of North Carolina's architectural history is available. Built in 1746, The Milford holds the distinct honor of being the oldest standing two-story home in the state. Nestled on 7 acres of pristine, park-like rural land with sweeping mature trees, this estate offers an ultra-private sanctuary wrapped in pre-Revolutionary provenance.
The main level welcomes you with an open-concept design that effortlessly bridges historic charm and modern living, anchored by striking brick flooring and two grand fireplaces. The main-floor primary suite is a true masterpiece--featuring a massive attached library and sitting room lined with bespoke, rich walnut cabinetry and built-in bookshelves. The primary bath has been entirely modernized into a spa-like retreat, boasting a deep jetted tub, a separate walk-in shower, a private water closet, a sprawling walk-in closet, and main-floor laundry convenience.
Upstairs, the second floor houses two spacious bedrooms connected by a classic Jack-and-Jill bath. Ascend to the third-floor attic to discover the home's most enchanting architectural secrets. Here, two fully heated rooms offer the perfect canvas for a creative studio, home office, or guest quarters. This level showcases early-century wide-plank flooring, stunning tumble brick gable walls, and massive hand-hewed roof rafters joined by traditional mortise-and-tenon joints and wooden pegs--craftsmanship that has stood unshaken for nearly three centuries. The kitchen has been upgraded with Italian marble countertops, upgraded appliances, coffee area.
The Grounds & Estate Features:
The property sits immersed in breathtaking, protected views, bordered by open farmland under restrictive covenants that ensure the surrounding rural landscape will never be lost to major development. Directly across Shipyard Road lies a protected 700-acre wildlife refuge, offering unmatched tranquility, privacy, and natural beauty.
Adding incredible versatility to the estate is a detached, fully conditioned (heated and cooled) two-car garage. Complete with a dedicated workshop, full kitchen, and full bathroom, this space is ideal for a guest cottage, an income-producing rental, or the ultimate hobbyist retreat. The expansive 7-acre property also includes a separate, pristine 2-acre parcel that could serve as a buildable lot for a future family homestead or investment.
