This week’s feature is a property listed for $1,295,000 at 27715 Villa Rd, Easton.
The history of this unique property dates from a 60 acre land tract sold to Wenlock Christison, a notable Quaker leader, in 1677. He added it to another 150 acres he had acquired that was called “The Ending of Controversie”.
The house is the focal point of its 4.9 acres with mature trees and landscaping and views of the Miles River Tributary beyond. I admired how the period details like the original staircase, fireplace mantels, and wood floors have been carefully preserved and maintained. The kitchen, bathrooms and HVAC have been modernized without compromising the interior architectural character of the original room layout.
