Discover a truly special 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home offering over 2,700 sq. ft. of character filled living space in Barrie's sought-after City Centre. Originally designed by renowned architect Eustace Bird, this architectural gem beautifully blends historic craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates, creating a home that feels both distinctive and perfectly suited for today's family lifestyle. From the moment you step inside, soaring 10 ft ceilings, an original wood staircase, impressive 12 inch baseboards, and beautifully preserved period details showcase the warmth and craftsmanship rarely found in modern homes. The renovated kitchen is designed for everyday family life and entertaining alike, featuring heated floors and a walkout to the backyard, while multiple spacious living areas provide plenty of room to gather, relax, work, and play. Upstairs, four bedrooms offer the flexibility growing families need, whether for children, guests, a home office, or all three. Step outside to a lush, fully fenced backyard oasis where kids can play, friends can gather, and summer evenings can be enjoyed around the pond and tiki bar. A durable metal roof completed in 2017 adds peace of mind, while careful restoration throughout the home preserves its historic character without sacrificing modern-day comfort. Ideally located just a short walk from downtown Barrie, families can enjoy easy access to schools, parks, shops, restaurants, community amenities, and the beautiful waterfront, all while coming home to the charm of one of the city's established neighbourhoods. Rich in history, filled with personality, and offering the space inside and out that families are looking for, this is a home built for creating memories for years to come. (id:60164)
