1387 Old Barrie Road W, Shanty Bay

EXTENSIVELY RENOVATED BUNGALOFT WITH A SHOP MADE FOR CARS, TOOLS & PROJECTS! The 25 x 30 ft drive-through shop may get your attention first, but the 3-bedroom home and half-acre setting give you just as many reasons to stay. The main level has been extensively renovated, including a kitchen with quartz counters, stainless steel appliances and extensive cabinetry, while navy lower cabinetry, white uppers and warm wood walls and ceiling give the space a modern look without losing its country character. Just beyond, the breakfast area doubles as a sitting room beside a wall-mounted electric fireplace, an easy place to read, linger after dinner or settle in at the end of the day. Luxury vinyl flooring, pot lights and neutral finishes continue through the principal living spaces, while the professionally upgraded full bath features heated flooring and a glass shower. Main-floor laundry comes with added storage, and a main-floor bedroom gives you the option to keep more of daily life on one level. Newer windows throughout, a low-maintenance metal roof, upgraded 200-amp service and an owned hot water tank add to the list of improvements already completed, with an Ecobee thermostat also in place. Two freshly painted bedrooms with distinctive sloped ceilings occupy the second level alongside an upgraded 2-piece bath, with another half bath completing the home. The rear deck overlooks a wide grassy yard framed by mature trees, with enough room to start planning gardens, set up the fire pit or give the kids and dog somewhere to really use up an afternoon. And then there is that 25 x 30 ft drive-through shop, equipped with its own electrical panel and giving you a place to work on the car, organize the tools and spend a Saturday getting lost in whatever project is next.
