Set in Orillia's prime North Ward, just a 3 minute walk to the lightfoot trail to Couchiching Beach Park & downtown which is basically one block east. The home draws you in with its welcoming curb appeal, highlighted by updated stone landscaping and a refreshed front entrance & enclosed porch. This two-storey home offers 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, with the added convenience of a main floor powder room & laundry. The layout is practical and comfortable, with a nice balance of character and modern touches throughout. There have been plenty of solid updates over the years, including a natural gas furnace and humidifier (2019), roof shingles and related components (2021), and air conditioning (2022). The bathroom has also been updated with a new tub/shower enclosure, vanity, and toilet. Outside, the front porch and stonework have been redone, and more recently, extensive work has been completed on the eaves and downspouts-another big-ticket item already taken care of. The basement offers good storage space, and the fully fenced yard with double gates is ideal for dog owners or anyone needing easy access. Altogether, this is a well-cared-for home in a great neighbourhood, offered at a price point that makes sense. A strong option for first-time buyers or anyone looking for something move-in ready without the long to-do list.
