Description
A beautiful century home in Barrie offering timeless character and exceptional versatility. Owned for 40+ years by a local artist the home showcases subtle custom details including distinctive cornices and a functional Art Deco fireplace finished in bold orange and black tones with a classic domino hearth, serving as a true centrepiece of the living space. The home features elegant period details throughout, including a formal dining room with traditional plate rails and mirrored wall accents. French doors open seamlessly into a bright, inviting sunroom, which extends to a spacious deck overlooking a private, landscaped backyard. A separate attached one - bedroom apartment adds significant value and flexibility, complete with its own kitchen, four-piece bathroom, and a generous upper-level bedroom with a sitting area. This space is ideal for extended family, guests, or potential rental income. It also offers a walkout to a wraparound deck and a tranquil pond, enhancing the sense of privacy and connection to nature. The grounds are beautifully appointed with a lush, private yard and two outbuildings. One structure is well-suited for a home business, studio, or children's playroom, with additional office space on the second level accessed by a retractable winch operated staircase. At the rear of the property, a large 34 ft. by 34 ft. former studio or workshop provides even more adaptable space for creative or practical use. The backyard completes the offering as a true private retreat -peaceful, spacious, and ready for your personal vision and finishing touches.
