SPACIOUS FAMILY HOME WITH BRIGHT, FLEXIBLE LIVING AREAS & A PRIVATE ENTRY BASEMENT WITH IN-LAW SUITE POTENTIAL! Tucked into Barrie's family-friendly Holly neighbourhood, this inviting 2-storey brick home delivers the kind of space, comfort, and lifestyle buyers are searching for, just moments from St. Bernadette and Holly Meadows Elementary Schools, Wessenger Park and playground, the Peggy Hill Team Community Centre, public transit, SmartCentres Barrie Essa shopping plaza, and the beautiful Ardagh Bluffs hiking trails. Curb appeal starts with a classic brick exterior, an attached 2-car garage with interior entry and automatic opener, and a private double driveway offering plenty of parking, while the fully fenced backyard with a garden shed is ready for gardening, play, or quiet evenings on the deck. Inside, the main floor welcomes you with a bright, open layout where a generous living and dining area flows into the eat-in kitchen, perfectly positioned around a sliding glass walkout that draws you toward the back deck and yard. A separate main floor family room gives you that coveted second living space for movie nights or kids' playtime, while a convenient powder room and a main floor laundry room with garage access add everyday practicality. Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms create a true retreat, highlighted by a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet and its own 3-piece ensuite, with a full 4-piece bathroom serving the additional bedrooms. The full, finished basement feels like its own private wing of the home, featuring a versatile rec room, an extra bedroom, a den, a kitchenette, a 4-piece bathroom, cold storage, and additional laundry, all tied together by a separate side entrance that enhances privacy and sets the stage for a potential in-law suite or multi-generational living setup. Discover the space, flexibility, and location you've been looking for in this inviting #HomeToStay!
