Description

Attention Antique Homes Lovers! This well preserved estate is an historic gem! Ownership of The Reverend James Johnson House has endured in the same family for seven generations, a genuinely rare accolade. This 2.20 acre property is the remaining piece of a 400 acre estate originally owned by one of the founding fathers of Easton. Educated at Yale, Reverend Johnson served as minister of Easton Congregational Church for 48 years. Circa 1760, the main house was built for Rev.

Ownership of The Reverend James Johnson House has endured in the same family for seven generations, a genuinely rare accolade. This 2.20 acre property is the remaining piece of a 400 acre estate originally owned by one of the founding fathers of Easton. Educated at Yale, Reverend Johnson served as minister of Easton Congregational Church for 48 years. Circa 1760, the main house was built for Rev. Johnson, his wife, and their large family. This two-story New England farm house with gabled roof is a very well preserved example of 18th century architecture, with original details, hardware, mantels and wide plank floors made of pumpkin pine and walnut. An original settler, Rev. Johnson was the most influential minister in Easton's history. More recently, the house was expanded to include a modern kitchen with vaulted great room, a 3-car garage, and a one bedroom apartment (ideal for a housekeeper, au-pair.) The property boasts several historically significant structures including the cobbler's shop, threshing room, a carriage shed and a chicken coop. The main house sits stately upon a hill, overlooking a 10 acre nature preserve. A short drive from the Merritt Parkway, and only 50 miles from NYC. Many thanks to the Easton Historical Society for aiding this information. Subject to probate approval.
