FLEMINGTON, NJ — A 19th-century church, now a single-family residence at 198 Locktown Flemington Rd, Flemington, NJ, has been listed for sale at $650,000. The property includes an old cemetery.
Luxury meets history meets dozens of uncertain demises in the 1.10-acre property. Renovated by a local architect, the former church has been transformed into a residence with modern amenities. The original pressed-tin covered ceiling and walls remain in the great room, a feature that adds texture and definition to the space.
The property contains three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The primary suite is on the second floor and comes with a spa-style bathroom. The third floor has a loft that leads to two additional bedrooms and another bath.
The home is equipped with new three-zone heating and cooling, a high-efficiency water heater, and a newer septic system. It also offers large gallery wall spaces for art collections and windows that provide views of preserved farmland and the included graveyard.
Responsibility for the upkeep of the cemetery on the property will be the buyer’s obligation. The listing states that the home offers an excellent opportunity for artists, writers, musicians, or those who seek rural tranquility.
It’s a pretty safe bet that whoever buys this house might not want to dig an inground pool in the backyard.
