Property Description

OVER HALF AN ACRE, A PRIVATE 2-STOREY HOME, IN-LAW POTENTIAL, JUST 2 MINUTES FROM BARRIE & WALKING DISTANCE TO LAKE SIMCOE! Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a 125 x 200 ft lot surrounded by mature trees with only one home directly beside it, this property feels worlds away from the city, yet Barrie is only 2 minutes away. Hwy 400, Hwy 11 and RVH are easily accessible, while the Barrie North Shore Trail is just a 5-minute walk away and Johnson's Beach is approximately a 10-minute walk from home. Notable updates and systems include a newer well and septic system, a renovated main-floor bathroom, professionally refinished maple hardwood, updated ductwork, a high-efficiency gas furnace with built-in humidifier, central air, water filtration and a water softener. Nearly 2,100 sq. ft. unfolds through distinct living spaces, including an eat-in kitchen with white cabinets, pantry storage, a farmhouse sink with an apron front, stainless steel appliances and a gas stove, plus a separate dining room. The living room opens to the 4-season sunroom, while the family room features a vaulted beamed ceiling, skylight, wood fireplace and walkout to the back deck, where a wide lawn meets a dense backdrop of mature trees for exceptional privacy. The main-floor primary bedroom sits close to the renovated bathroom, adding valuable flexibility for buyers who appreciate having a bedroom and full bath on the main level. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms, a 4-piece bathroom and an eat-in kitchen create in-law potential. The kitchen occupies what was originally the fourth bedroom and could be converted back if desired. The unfinished basement adds meaningful future potential, with ample room to create additional recreation, fitness, hobby or living space. A winding paved driveway leads to the 3-car tandem garage with interior access and a rear man door. Lower property taxes, combined with the absence of municipal water and sewer charges, create a notable long-term ownership advantage. (id:7434)
