gives the home its personality with a soaring vaulted ceiling, built-in bookshelves, a wood accent wall, an extra-large window and a Napoleon gas fireplace. A walkout from this level leads to the backyard, where mature trees and established perennial gardens surround the deck and lawn, creating a secluded setting for outdoor meals or afternoons beneath the trees. The second level features a large family room and dining area with room for everyday use as well as larger celebrations, while the eat-in kitchen offers extensive cabinetry, long stretches of counter space and views of the greenery outside. Three comfortable bedrooms share a 4-piece bathroom. The lower level adds a rec room suited to movie nights, hobbies or older children, along with a 2-piece bathroom, laundry area and interior access to the double garage. A furnace, air conditioner and owned hot water tank, all from 2022, take several major mechanical expenses off a buyer’s immediate to-do list. Shopping and schools are close by, with downtown Barrie, the waterfront and commuter routes only minutes away. (id:62650)
