patio garden door (2021), plus a newer furnace and air conditioner (2022.) The brick exterior with stone accents, newer black front door framed by a transom and two sidelights, replaced garage door, updated front stair railing, and attached 2-car garage with drywall give the home a beautifully maintained look, while the private backyard offers updated fencing, in-ground irrigation, a deck, morning sun out back, and evening light at the front. Nearly 2, 400 finished sq ft of interior living space includes open-concept principal rooms with a kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, tile flooring, and a backsplash, a breakfast area with a garden door walkout, and a dining area with a tall vaulted ceiling and newer custom blinds. The living room is anchored by a gas fireplace, while custom lighting, California shutters in multiple rooms, and refreshed paint in select areas continue the list of thoughtful improvements. The primary bedroom features updated hardwood flooring, a fully remodelled 4-piece ensuite, and a spacious walk-in closet, with the former third bedroom converted to expand the closet and ensuite space. Downstairs, the finished basement adds a large rec room with a second gas fireplace, a third bedroom, and a full bathroom, giving you the flexibility for guests, older kids, or extended family. All of it comes together in Barrie’s highly regarded Ardagh neighbourhood, close to the Ardagh Bluffs trail system, parks, schools, daily amenities, public transit, and Highway 400. (id:62650)
