there was one time in the summer where it appeared to leak at the point
where the faucet attaches to the pipe, but there has been nothing since.

Just guessing here, as you neglected to mention how old the house is,
and what part of the world you live in.

As others mentioned, a remote cut off is typically required by code.
Have you looked under various sinks in your house, particularly the
kitchen sink? In many instances the shutoff will be found there, *if*
the wall where the spigot lives is finished on the interior.
