Character. Space. Location. It's rare to get all three-especially in the North Ward. 1) Set on a quiet, treelined street just steps from Lake Couchiching, this 2.5-storey home blends timeless character with the kind of updates buyers actually want. 2) From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal stands out with mature trees, updated windows, and a refined front entry. Inside, the layout flows effortlessly-featuring an updated kitchen with brand-new appliances that connects seamlessly to a formal dining space made for real gatherings, along with a bright sitting room perfect for quiet mornings, reading, or working from home. 3) The main living space is open, comfortable, and built for everyday life, with a walkout to a private deck overlooking a fully treed backyard. It's the kind of space that works just as well for hosting as it does for unwinding at the end of the day. 4) Upstairs, you'll find four well-sized bedrooms and a full bath-ideal for families or anyone needing extra space. The third-floor loft adds incredible flexibility and can easily function as a guest suite, home office, studio, or creative retreat depending on your needs. 5) The walk-out basement adds even more versatility with a renovated full bathroom, rec space, and in-law potential. Located just minutes from downtown Orillia, parks, and waterfront trails, this home offers the perfect balance of character, space, and convenience-making it one you'll want to experience in person.
