UPDATED HILLSDALE BUNGALOW WITH A LARGE PRIVATE LOT, A FRIENDLY COMMUNITY, & EVERYDAY CONVENIENCE CLOSE AT HAND! Welcome to this charming detached bungalow in family-friendly Hillsdale, set in a quiet, low-traffic community surrounded by forest and farmland that delivers a true small-town feel. Within walking distance to local dining, Hillsdale Elementary School, a YMCA, and the community park with playgrounds, athletic fields, and winter skating, this location balances peaceful living with everyday convenience. Just 3 minutes to Highway 400, you'll also enjoy being 12 minutes to Craighurst and Elmvale for daily essentials, and 20 minutes to Barrie for larger urban amenities. Year-round adventure awaits with Orr Lake, Copeland Forest hiking trails, and Horseshoe Valley's skiing, Nordic spa, and outdoor recreation all close by. The property itself is a standout, offering a large 0.47-acre lot with a private backyard framed by mature trees, and plenty of green space for kids and pets to play. Curb appeal shines with a covered front porch, expansive front lawn, and beautifully maintained garden beds that make an inviting first impression. Inside, a sun-filled living room with oversized front windows flows into the kitchen and dining area with a walkout to the backyard, creating a wonderful setting for both everyday living and entertaining. Three comfortable bedrooms include a primary suite with backyard views and a walk-in closet, served by a full 4-piece bathroom, while the unfinished basement provides future potential to expand your living space. Recent updates add peace of mind with newer flooring and paint, an upgraded gas stove with a gas line for both the stove and a potential BBQ, and an owned water heater. With an attached garage, ample driveway parking, and everyday practicality throughout, this #HomeToStay is an ideal choice for young families, first-time buyers, or downsizers eager to join a welcoming community!
