159 BENSON DRIVE — Barrie (Northwest), Ontario

RAISED BUNGALOW WITH OVER 2,000 FINISHED SQ FT, DOUBLE GARAGE, FINISHED BASEMENT & HOT TUB UNDER A HARDTOP GAZEBO! A raised bungalow with an all-brick exterior, a double garage, over 2,000 finished square feet, and a hot tub in the fenced backyard brings the practical wish list with a little backyard magic. Set in a peaceful northwest Barrie pocket, 159 Benson Drive opens with a modern front entry door with a glass insert, leading into a slate-tiled foyer with a front closet. Hardwood flooring runs through the living room and all 3 main floor bedrooms, complemented by newer California shutters and updated lighting. The kitchen leans warm and grounded with wood cabinetry, dark granite counters, stainless steel appliances, slate tile flooring, a dark island, tile backsplash, pantry storage, and a garden door walkout with a sidelight leading to the deck. The main level offers 3 bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with two closets. A wood railing with black iron spindles leads to the finished basement, where a large rec room with a white pine wet bar, 4th bedroom, separate office or den area, California shutters, and a 3-piece bathroom with tile flooring, a modern vanity, and a large tiled glass shower expand the living space. The fully fenced backyard gives your downtime somewhere to go, with trees, gardens, a garden shed, a large deck with privacy fencing, and a hot tub tucked under a hardtop gazebo. School drop-offs, park visits, waterfront dinners, beach days, and ski nights all fit into the week here, with schools, Cloughley Park, and a playground within walking distance, plus downtown Barrie and Snow Valley just 10 minutes away.
