Devany Farmhouse: Ferndale, NY

About The Property

Introducing Devany Farmhouse: This sweet country home 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.

Arriving at the property, you will be greeted by the cheery red farmhouse featuring 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. Come spring, the return of perennials like astilbe, columbine, mint, and bleeding heart brings the entire grounds vibrant new life.

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 is charming, complete with fun red checkerboard flooring and gas stove, and 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 pleasant 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 leads 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 stands ready to bring your vision to life. Beyond the gardens, you’ll find access to Indian Lake. Towards the front of the house, the “must have” upstate firepit on a stone patio sits ready for gatherings on a crisp autumn night.
