CHARMING FOREST-FRINGED BUNGALOW WITH DEEDED WATER ACCESS, AN INSULATED WORKSHOP, EXTENSIVE UPDATES, & 0.41 ACRES OF PEACEFUL OUTDOOR LIVING! Tucked beneath a canopy of mature trees and within walking distance to a deeded waterfront parcel just up the road, this 1972 Viceroy-built bungalow delivers a peaceful sense of privacy that's hard to find yet easy to fall in love with. Set back from the road on a fully fenced 0.41-acre lot, the home welcomes you with a sweeping circular driveway and a quiet rhythm of life that feels far removed - yet you're only minutes from South Barrie amenities, the GO Station, and the leisure of Friday Harbour. Inside, sunlight spills through oversized windows into a bright, open living space with gently vaulted ceilings and a warm, airy flow. The updated kitchen shines with quartz and granite countertops, a spacious island with breakfast bar seating, and a modern tile backsplash that ties it all together. Two restful bedrooms with updated flooring enjoy peaceful views of the surrounding forest, including a primary suite with semi-ensuite access to a stylish 5-piece bath and a laundry room complete with a newer washer and dryer. Outside, a 10 x 14 insulated workshop with hydro is ready for creative projects, hobbies, or weekend tinkering. Major upgrades offer confidence and comfort, including updated plumbing with an iron filter and water softener, underground 200-amp hydro service, central air, a high-efficiency Navien tankless water heater, a fully spray-foamed crawlspace, and roof updates completed in 2025. Recent inspections and upgrades to the well and septic system ensure peace of mind for years to come, and engineered drawings are also available, allowing for future plans to raise the home and add a full basement. Whether you're sipping coffee on the porch, working on a project in the shop, or enjoying the breeze through the trees, this exceptional #HomeToStay offers a lifestyle of calm, connection, and quiet luxury.
