This is the house with the storybook front porch, the greenery-filled backyard with mature trees and gardens, and the downtown Orillia address that makes it easy to leave the car at home. Summer dinners stretch a little later on the deck, evenings gather around the fire pit, and weekends are spent tending gardens, enjoying the shade of mature trees or heading out to explore the waterfront, trails and local shops just minutes away. Character is woven throughout the home, from the hardwood floors, crown moulding and wide trim details to the tall windows that fill the rooms with natural light. The living and dining rooms sit comfortably side by side, giving the main floor an easy flow, while the kitchen adds a cheerful hit of personality with soft blue cabinetry, black hardware, open display shelving and newer stainless steel appliances. The enclosed front porch adds a sunny spot to watch the neighbourhood go by, with handy space for boots, coats and seasonal gear. A main-floor bedroom with a 3-piece ensuite and walkout to the backyard offers flexibility for guests or extended family, while upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a full bathroom, including a spacious primary bedroom complete with a walk-in closet. Outside, the 35 x 107 ft lot feels like a private pocket of greenery in the city, featuring landscaped outdoor space, colourful gardens, a storage shed, two driveway parking spots and an attached garage. Fresh paint, a newer roof, newer central air, an updated garage door and no rental items add practical value for the next owner, while the unfinished partial basement provides valuable storage space. Situated in an established downtown neighbourhood near Orillia Soldiers' Memorial Hospital, Couchiching Beach Park, J.B. Tudhope Memorial Park, the Lightfoot Trail System and the Lake Couchiching waterfront. (id:27476)
