Happy Place Farmhouse: Jeffersonville, NY

About The Property

Available for the first time in over 50 years, Happy Place Farmhouse is a special property - full of rich memories, ready for its next chapter. When they say, “they don’t build them like they used to”, they could be referring exactly to a home like this with its sturdy walnut woodwork, and classic 4 room downstairs layout. The house does need some TLC and updating throughout, though bathrooms and kitchens have already been updated, so if you’ve been looking for an opportunity to take on a manageable project with real character and significant upside, this might just be the home for you.

Enter the home off the rear deck and through a 3 season room, conveniently usable as a mud room of sorts, and you’ll walk in to a fully renovated kitchen. Clean white cabinetry and stainless appliances and fixtures make for a bright and airy space. A large storage closet, and original pantry nook give plenty of space for all the equipment and ingredients you might need to host a large group in your traditional dining room.

Directly through the pantry, you’ll enter in to said traditional dining room. A quick and easy transformation awaits with original wood floors hidden safely under carpeting, just waiting for someone to open them back up to the light. Plenty of space for a large table and several buffets and cabinets, this is a dining room meant for hosting dinner parties with friends, or a holiday dinner with family.

Adjacent to the dining room is the living/sitting room. Original wood floors hidden here as well, you can imagine how quickly this space can transform. Rich walnut wood trim frame the spaces, and the clean, square lines of the home make for exciting design and decorating opportunities.

From the sitting room is a door to access the rocking chair porch overlooking the southern side of the property. Soft hilltop breezes and birdsong to be expected daily.

On the backside of the sitting room is the first of two fully renovated full bathrooms. Again, crisp white subway tile and a classic black and white penny tile pattern on the floor keep the space feeling timeless, and is just one less task for the new buyer to take on as they reimagine the home.

The last room downstairs is a cozy den with its brickwork fireplace. Easy to imagine curling up with the fire crackling and putting on your favorite movie. You can see the exposed original floors in this room, ready to be refinished and brought back to life in full.

Despite the downstairs layout being that of distinct spaces, the home still flows logically and easily, and opens up the potential to really lean in to the character of each individual room. In a world of open-plan homes, this feels like a refreshing opportunity for something new.

Upstairs is where you’ll find the 4 bedrooms. All of the bedrooms feature deep closets, and at least two of the bedrooms could accommodate king-size beds. This is a home truly meant for living, not just visiting.

The second, full, newly renovated bathroom is at the top of the stairs. A skylight lets the daylight pour in to this space - and again, a simple and clean renovation lets you focus on other projects around the house.

Outside, the 2.7 acre property is a country dream with mature maple trees, lilac bushes, and fruit bearing apple trees dotted throughout the yard. Long range views across some of Sullivan County’s most picturesque landscapes await with a little tree clearing along Dietz Rd. Ample open, level land provides a real opportunity to add a pool, a garden, a garage… whatever you can dream up. An existing barn/garage sits at the end of the driveway. The building is in need of rehabbing but could be a useful space once again with a little elbow grease.

Happy Place Farmhouse is also located in one of the most desirable pockets of Sullivan County. Barely a minute from Callicoon Center, you can enjoy all that Callicoon Hills resort offers with its year round restaurant and coffee shop. Jeffersonville is less than 10 minutes away, Callicoon and Livingston Manor both barely 15 minutes, and Narrowsburg just over 30 minutes. This is an ideal location to enjoy the best of the county.

This property is being sold as-is for ease of sale. Necessary upgrades and maintenance have been built in to the asking price.
