54 Devany Rd Ferndale, NY 12734

This sweet country farmhouse offers an invitation to settle in, slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Set upon a quiet country road in the heart of Sullivan County, this charming home includes lake rights to Indian Lake, lush gardens + greenhouse, and a barn ready for your vision. The cheery red home features a stone-faced covered porch surrounded by established landscaping and old rock walls. Classic hydrangeas and lilacs blend seamlessly with newer plantings that the current owners have put in to create a wonderful natural border along the front of the property. It is the kind of front porch where you could easily curl up on the rocking chair for hours. Inside, the flow feels easy. A spacious living room with exposed-beam ceilings leads to a sunroom/mudroom and kitchen nook, where surrounding windows and sliders to a small deck flood the space with natural light. The country kitchen itself, complete with fun red checkerboard flooring and gas stove, connects to the adjacent dining room. One of the home's two full baths sits on this main level. The owners have embraced the timeless character of the house, keeping it comfortably true to its roots as a snapshot of an earlier time. Painted in warm hues, the layout features wood floors throughout, as well as access to an unfinished basement---with washer and dryer---off the kitchen. Upstairs, a landing connects the two cozy bedrooms and a second full bathroom with a classic clawfoot tub. As a fantastic bonus for a property of this age, both bedrooms, the bathroom, and the landing feature built-in closets. Outside, the gardens extend well past the front yard. A gentle stone walkway and stairs lead past the side deck into the backyard garden, while on the other side of the house, meandering grassy paths take you to the 2-story barn that stands ready to bring your vision to life. Beyond the gardens, you'll see the lake sparkle through the trees. Wander further down the property for direct access to the lake. Centrally located in Sullivan County with the charming downtowns of Livingston Manor and Jeffersonville each just 15 minutes away. Also nearby, enjoy summer concerts and a variety of other activities and festivals throughout the year at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. Less than 2 hours from NYC. If you're looking for a delightful upstate farmhouse with lake rights and a barn, this is the one!
