paved driveway, metal roof, multiple decks, a BBQ area and 2 sheds, this well-cared-for century home gives you a backyard made for summer dinners on the deck, weekend projects, kids, pets and all the extra room buyers hope to find in town. A fireplace anchors the living room, while the separate dining room opens to the back deck for meals that can carry straight outdoors. Updated with black quartz countertops, white shaker cabinetry, updated hardware, a workstation sink, tile backsplash and pot lights, the kitchen keeps sightlines open to the living area through a pass-through window. The laundry and mudroom area adds storage cabinetry, counter space for folding and a convenient walkout to the backyard, with a powder room nearby for added practicality. Upstairs, 2 bedrooms, an updated 4-piece bathroom, a dedicated office area and a reading nook at the top of the stairs make clever use of the second level, with a barn board feature wall in the primary bedroom and a sliding barn door in the second bedroom. Under 5 minutes to the Orillia Recreation Centre, Moose Beach, Couchiching Beach Park, the Port of Orillia, waterfront trails, shops, restaurants, schools and everyday essentials, plus quick access to Highway 12, this address keeps the best parts of Orillia close without giving up that big backyard feeling.
