Escape to peaceful rural living while staying just minutes from all the amenities of Barrie! This charming all brick bungalow sits on a generous 100' x 150' lot, offering privacy, space, and a lifestyle that blends country tranquility with everyday convenience. Pretty as a picture curb appeal and a long driveway offering plenty of parking that leads to a detached garage and a separate ‘cottage’ with hydro, perfect for hobbyists, storage, or a workshop. Beyond the custom iron inlaid gates is the expansive yard that is designed for relaxation, featuring an oversized two tiered covered deck with gazebo overlooking the yard, gardens and shed - an ideal spot for morning coffee or weekend entertaining! Inside, the main floor offers a bright and spacious layout with a large sunfilled living room w/oversized vinyl windows, and a separate dining area that provides lots of room for family gatherings – both boast hardwood floors, french glass doors and upscale crown mouldings! The eat in kitchen with antiqued finish custom cabinetry, crown mouldings, steel appliances, pot drawers and glass front details provides all the space the ‘family chef’ could need, plus the walkout to the upper deck makes indoor outdoor living effortless. Two comfortable bedrooms and a 4 piece bathroom complete the main level (was a 3 bedroom – converted to a 2 bedroom). The finished basement extends your living space with two additional bedrooms with above grade windows, a 3 piece bathroom, laundry, and a separate living area—perfect for extended family, guests, or multi generational living. Practical updates and features include a durable metal roof and an updated well (approx. 2018), 2 septic tanks & sump pump, offering peace of mind for years to come. This property delivers the best of rural living—privacy, space, and nature—while being just a short drive to Barrie’s shopping, dining, schools, and commuter routes. A rare opportunity to enjoy country charm without sacrificing convenience!
