CHARMING FAMILY HOME ON A LARGE LOT WITH RECENT UPGRADES THROUGHOUT! This beautifully maintained raised bungalow sits on a spacious 91 x 196 ft lot in a sought-after neighbourhood, backing onto the Thornton Community Centre and arena with a park, playground, and splash pad steps away. Enjoy the convenience of being minutes to Hwy 400, a library, Georgian Downs, and parks, with Barrie less than 15 minutes away. The home has been updated throughout, featuring a freshly painted main floor and basement, sleek bamboo flooring, and a refreshed kitchen and bathroom with timeless finishes. The basement features a cozy rec room with a gas fireplace, while an additional space offers the potential to add a 4th bedroom.
Recent improvements include updated stairs and railings, durable metal roof, quality windows, and front and rear doors by Brock Doors & Windows. The well-maintained furnace and A/C ensure year-round comfort, while upgraded 12-14” insulation with foam spray adds extra home efficiency. Thoughtful additions like a battery backup sump pump and an owned hot water tank, water softener, and reverse osmosis system provide peace of mind. Step outside to the recently updated composite deck with a gas line for BBQ hookup, perfect for entertaining or relaxing in the expansive backyard. A fantastic opportunity to own a well-cared-for home in a prime location!
