Four garden sheds provide storage, while front and rear sprinkler systems keep the lawns and gardens maintained. The dining room offers a gas fireplace, while the vaulted living room creates an inviting focal point with a second gas fireplace framed in reclaimed timber and stacked stone.

Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level. The finished lower level adds in-law suite potential with a family room, recreation room, fourth bedroom, 3-piece bath with heated flooring, and a bonus room ideal for an office or home gym. The generous lot provides a rare sense of privacy and breathing room while keeping community and everyday conveniences close at hand, with quick access to Barrie via Hwy 11, and easy proximity to Horseshoe Valley, Mount St. Louis Moonstone, and Bass Lake Provincial Park.
