Cross Streets: Hurst / Tollendale. ** Directions: Hurst to Tollendale to Royal Oak Drive - Sign on Lawn. Those who know Barrie know that Royal Oak Drive is simply one of the best addresses in the city. Tucked within an exclusive South Barrie enclave, your neighbours will be lawyers, physicians, and C-suite executives who chose this street deliberately. Oversized lots, mature trees, lush landscaping, and genuine privacy define every property here, and the subdivision's park offers direct access to the beautiful shores of Lake Simcoe. 76 Royal Oak is a wonderful family home offering approx 2,800 sq ft above grade plus an additional approx 1,200 sq ft of finished basement space. The traditional layout is both grand and liveable, with charming Tudor accents that give the home real timeless curb appeal. Step inside to warm pristine hardwood floors and a sweeping staircase that immediately tells you this home is something special. The formal drawing room to your right features a modern gas fireplace perfect for those cozy gatherings, while the formal dining room flows naturally into an oversized kitchen appointed with stainless appliances and a large gas range. The kitchen has a reverse osmosis system that has never been used and just needs to be hooked up. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms are served by three full bathrooms, two of which are ensuites. The primary suite is a true retreat with its own private hallway, generous walk-in closet, a dedicated ensuite, and lovely views over the rear landscaped gardens. The basement is a treat, finished as a warm English-style pub and games room complete with a wet bar, sitting area, wood fireplace, and plenty of storage. Your teenagers will never want to leave. Many windows have been replaced with triple-pane sealed units. Outside, the rear gardens are laid to lawn with stone accents and wrapped in mature trees for total privacy. Steps from your door you will find Lake Simcoe, the marina, and kilometres of scenic walking trails. The GO Train and the vibrant shops and restaurants of downtown Barrie are an easy stroll away.
