31 Mckenzie Crescent, Barrie

There are homes that check the boxes - and then there are homes that offer a lifestyle. Backing onto environmentally protected land in the heart of Barrie, this beautifully updated 2-storey combines exceptional family space, flexible living and a backyard you may never want to leave. Designed for entertaining, the private outdoor retreat features an inground pool, extensive stonework, pergola, dining area and hot tub hookup, all surrounded by greenspace with no homes directly behind. Inside, the maple kitchen opens to the family room and walks out to a newer deck with gas BBQ line - perfect for taking everyday living outdoors. Separate living/dining space, a home office, main-floor laundry and inside entry from the double garage complete the main level. Upstairs are 4 spacious bedrooms, giving everyone room of their own. The fully renovated walkout lower level adds incredible versatility with 2 more bedrooms, a full bath, separate laundry, private entrance and a beautiful kitchen featuring quartz counters, glass tile backsplash and custom cabinetry - ideal for extended family, guests or secondary living. Extensive improvements since 2022 include the lower-level renovation, appliances, backyard landscaping, stonework, pool & pergola, garage door & opener, newer deck, select windows/doors and fresh paint. Add 200-amp service plus gas, water & electrical connections outdoors and the details just keep coming.

Six bedrooms, multiple living spaces and an unforgettable backyard - this is a home made for living, gathering and making memories. (id:66289)
