Fortunately, the owners were home and in the front yard when we drove in. They, like most benchmark owners, were unaware that they had one on their house. After a few minutes of moving flotsam and jetsam in a little storage shed on the north side of the house, we found the benchmark.

If you were to go there now, they would be able to lead you directly to it, instead of replying, "What?!?!?!"
