Magnolia Lakehouse: Ferndale, NY
About The Property
Magnolia Lake House features two lakefront dwellings, both renovated in the last three years: a three bedroom main house, and an equally comfortable one bedroom apartment over the two car garage, known as the Carriage House. They are connected by an elevated open breezeway, with stunning private gardens surrounding both, but in fact the two properties (13 and 15 Indian Lake Rd) are on separate deeds. They could be combined for a reduction in taxes, but with the loss of ability to sell them separately.
It’s a wonderful house for entertaining or just assembling your crew, with numerous seating areas, both inside and out. Starting with the Main House, the living area includes a spacious lounge, a dedicated dining area and well-appointed kitchen with island/breakfast bar. Glass sliding doors open to the screened porch which overlooks the water. In the summer, this is the hub, with grilling outside the door and watching the kids frolic in the lake. That picture perfect dock is a magnet for everyone who visits, while the HOA places another float in the middle of the lake, making for a fun swimming destination.
There are three bedrooms: Two are on the main floor and share a full bathroom and one upstairs (shows twin beds) with another full bathroom. The finished lower level has a TV lounge and a small exercise space and a third bathroom which incorporates the laundry.
Take the elevated deck over to the guest house and here you'll find a tidy and well-stocked kitchen and living area. There is a queen bedroom and across the hall a bathroom with walk-in shower.
While cozy in the winter, the fall season is a leaf peeper's delight, the spring is for crisp morning kayaks and the summer is an absolute dream. The private dock, kayaks and paddle boards create three season opportunities, and the superbly designed interior provides for year-round relaxation.
Tucked back in a serene lakefront community, yet just minutes from the highway, Magnolia Lake House is really central to so many popular country towns. Kauneonga Lake, with its lakefront eateries (10 mins), Liberty’s terrific supermarket (3.5 mi) and the breweries and shops of Livingston Manor (15 mins). The property is being sold fully furnished, and is a successful vacation rental through Red Cottage Inc. Income details available upon request.
