WELL-LOVED 2-STOREY HOME SET ON 1.25 ACRES WITH A HEATED WORKSHOP & FOREST VIEWS! Welcome to a home filled with warmth and pride of ownership, set on a peaceful 1.25-acre retreat surrounded by mature trees, rolling farmland views, and the sounds of nature. Nestled within a welcoming small-town community where neighbours stop to say hello, you will also enjoy the convenience of being just 10 minutes from Barrie's amenities, with country roads leading to local farmers markets and seasonal flower stands. From golf courses to Snow Valley Ski Resort and the shores of Kempenfelt Bay, outdoor recreation is always close by, with the Tiffin Conservation Area just across the road featuring trails, wildlife, and year-round natural beauty. The expansive driveway provides abundant parking, while two storage sheds and a detached garage/workshop - insulated, heated, and powered - offer space for every project or hobby. Inside, a sun-filled open layout unites the living, dining, and kitchen areas, showcasing picturesque forest views and a walkout to a covered porch, perfect for relaxing outdoors. Three adaptable rooms on the main level offer flexible space for a home office, library, or media lounge, while the upper level features three spacious bedrooms, including a primary retreat with a private balcony, walk-in closet, and cozy electric fireplace. An upper family room, convenient laundry, and plenty of storage add to the functionality, while full 4-piece baths on both levels ensure everyday comfort. Thoughtfully maintained and filled with happy memories, this inviting property also comes equipped with a new carrier 80,000 BTU furnace (2026,) 13kw Generac generator, central air, and forced air propane heating. This is more than a house - it's a place where lifestyle, community, and cherished moments come together to create a one-of-a-kind #HomeToStay.
