"Millie Fleur”, the Manor Home
Built in the 1870's, historically relevant and what was once known as the Perrie Farm, the main homestead is over 3600 sq feet. Minutes to the Chesapeake Bay, meticulously kept from floor to ceiling, the circular driveway and grounds are an invitation to a romantic setting with mature trees draping the entire property. The landscaping, historic Tobacco Barn and outbuildings add to its quintessential sense of charm.
Upon entering the Main House, the two-story Foyer is enhanced by an elegant staircase with a hand-honed railing weaving its way to the second floor. Ceilings well over 9 feet high, some framed in 12+ inches of designer crown molding. The windows have been kept to their original design and the dreamy view to the outside world is reflected in the leaded glass once used ages ago.
Fireplaces, over 4 of them, all working and wood burning, center in several rooms providing warmth and beauty. A gorgeous wood-stove garnishes the Study. The original wood floors have been kept in excellent condition throughout the entire house. Solid hardwood doors with original hardware, ceiling medallions encasing Neirmann-Weeks fixtures in the front two rooms illustrate the exceptional care given to this prized property.
Combining history with modern amenities, a spectacular sunroom measuring 14x15’ was added to the first floor. Warm earth tone tile flooring, floor to ceiling windows, built-ins, wet bar for entertaining makes this a perfect room for family, friends and entertaining.
The back stairwell is a standard in any farmhouse, is a favorite for everyone and shows hundreds of years of use adding even more history and charm to the home. The first floor also includes the Family Room, Study/Office and Kitchen with adjoining Utility/Mud Room.
To note, the Kitchen has been completely remodeled and has marble countertops, a Two-Oven, 6-burner 48" Viking Gas Range (with Grill) that exhausts through to the roof. With tons of cabinet space, this is a true working kitchen for those who love the art of cooking. Views to the outside deck and yard allow for great lighting and enhance its comforting nature. The Utility Room for exit or entrance adds to the easy flow of this home and has hookups for an additional washer/dryer should it be needed.
The second floor has a superior landing overlooking the driveway, a Master Bedroom with a fireplace and a newly added and elegantly designed Master Bath. Double sinks, walk-in tiled shower, soaking tub, lots of storage, 2nd floor washer and dryer and an additional walk-in closet offering tons of space comprise the Master Bath and all with a heated floor.
In addition to the Master Bedroom and Bath, there are 3 more Bedrooms, a second full bath completely remodeleda lovely little balcony for morning coffee and a cozy Reading/TV Room on the 2nd floor.
This property is perfectly designed for a family compound, and a myriad of at-home businesses including construction, landscaping, kennel, event planners as well as for anyone who would love privacy, no Homeowners Association, and maybe want a few farm animals or chickens.
To add to the amenities, the location is perfect for commuters with Route 4 and commuter transportation only 5 minutes away. A quick drive to Washington DC and Virginia can take less than 35-40 minutes. Reagan National Airport is close by at a 35 minute drive. While the Capital of Maryland, Annapolis with great dining, shopping, etc., is just a brief 30 minutes. The Chesapeake Bay is also a 10 minute snap away and includes iconic Bay Towns like Deale, North and Chesapeake Beach.

Each of these local attractions include great seafood restaurants, fishing, crabbing, kayaking, boardwalks, trails, public beaches, marinas, local farmers markets, entertainment and so much more.
