Elegance, Grandeur & Breathtaking Views

 

The perfect home, in the perfect location. Just close enough to Barrie’s main patios-shops-and-culture thoroughfare for quick access but far enough for tranquility, this one-of-a-kind 5,000 square foot 4-ensuite bedroom 2005 custom home is less than a 4-minute walk to shopping and restaurants. 60 minutes to GTA, close proximity to commuter routes, RVH and premium golf and ski resorts. With a sweeping views of Kempenfelt Bay, no expense was spared in construction, finishing, landscaping or craftsmanship.

 

Drive past and you’ll notice the 3-car driveway, double garage, gated entry, Spanish Clay tile roof and tasteful, low-maintenance landscaping. Cycle by on the Waterfront Trail and you’ll notice four walk-outs on three levels, each with a phalanx of windows and doors, the better to take in the view of Kempenfelt Bay. You’ll be struck by the privacy wall stonework and wrought iron gate, the cascading natural limestone terraced garden, and the degree of privacy that banks of tall evergreens afford.

 

Finishings include rare granites, mahogany woodwork, a spiral wood & filigree wrought iron staircase just off the foyer, ¾” walnut hardwood flooring and imported tile. 

 

Entertain in this truly incredible open-concept kitchen, banked on three sides with clean quartzite countertops and breakfast bar. It boasts millwork that is nothing less than stunning, as well as high-end appliances that include Wolf gas range & Sub-Zero fridge, freezer. The kitchen opens onto a massive great room where one entire wall consists of a floor-to-ceiling custom library with rolling ladder. At the far end, a grand stone wood-burning fireplace is bordered by large glass Ripla doors that suffuse the room with light. The doors let onto an expansive, house-breadth terrace built for outdoor entertaining with panoramic views of the Bay as a backdrop. 

 

The only way to describe the Master bedroom is ‘luxurious’.  Listen to the sounds of the waves from your luxurious master suite with gorgeous hardwood flooring, soaring ceilings it includes a gas fireplace, incredible millwork with custom cabinetry, a spa-like 7-piece ensuite with steam room & jacuzzi tub, and a walkout to the balconies. The finished lower level is ready for a gym, home theatre and a wine cellar. At 1,700 square feet, it could also easily be transformed into a sizable in-law suite. The lower level boasts walkouts to a large shaded patio with stunning views of the Bay and steps down to an iron gate that gives access to the Waterfront Trail and shoreline for your enjoyment.

 

Completing the picture are forced air, natural gas, central air, central vacuum, HRV, a surround sound system on 3 levels, automated storm shutters, and a new boiler for radiant in-floor heating in all tiled rooms.
