Welcome to 1218 Mill Street, an award-winning historic estate (City of Camden 2025) nestled on a private corner lot within the heart of Camden's historic district. Spanning over 6,461 square feet across 2.08 pristine acres, this meticulously restored 1846 masterpiece—originally constructed by Daniel DeSaussure—seamlessly blends timeless Southern heritage with uncompromising modern luxury.
As you enter the grand foyer featuring 12-foot ceilings and original, painstakingly restored 179-year-old gleaming floors, you are greeted by perfectly symmetrical 19 by 19-foot parlor rooms adorned with exquisite lighting fixtures and seven lovingly restored fireplaces with original mantels. The main residence offers 5 spacious bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 2 half baths, highlighted by an impressive primary suite complete with a luxurious ensuite and a large walk-in closet.
Culinary enthusiasts will delight in the expansive gourmet kitchen equipped with all-new cabinetry, luxury appliances, and a Carrera marble center island, complemented by a private kitchen and butler's pantry designed to effortlessly cater to the grand dining room. Beyond the main living spaces, the home reveals wonderful surprises, including a sunroom encased in wrap-around windows, a dedicated street-level home office with a coffee bar and historic fireplace, and a delightful lower-level speakeasy and wine cellar perfect for gathering with friends.
Behind the scenes, the property has been thoughtfully modernized with all-new electrical wiring, plumbing, and advanced HVAC systems, including dual main units and supplementary mini-splits for absolute comfort.
The estate grounds are equally impressive, enclosed by a period-appropriate wooden fence with electrically operated security gates. The historic circular driveway and original gardens have been carefully preserved, while contemporary additions include a newly constructed carport and a versatile carriage house that doubles as a private gym.
Recognized and showcased in the Spring 2023 edition of Camden magazine, 1218 Mill Street captures the true essence of local heritage, offering a culturally resonant and refined living experience for the discerning homeowner.
Rare. Significant. Unrepeatable. One of a kind.
