There comes a season in life when what you want most is ease. A home that's easy to maintain. A neighbourhood where people still wave. Enough space for family and friends to gather, but not so much that your weekends are spent looking after the house instead of enjoying it. Set within Bracebridge's highly sought-after White Pines community, this newer-built bungalow w/ loft strikes a rare balance. It lives generously, yet asks very little in return when it's time to lock the door and head off on your next adventure. EV ready 2-bay garage. Beautiful curb appeal. A welcoming covered porch. And a thoughtfully designed layout set the tone. Everything you need is arranged on the main floor, where 9' ceilings create an airy sense of space and the open-concept design brings people together, whether it's everyday comfort or hosting. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat complete with a walk-in closet and ensuite, while a 2nd main-floor bedroom, full bath, and laundry keep life comfortably on one level. Upstairs, a private bedroom and bath create the perfect space for guests to settle in and stay awhile. The loft overlooking the living room provides valuable flexibility. A home office. A cozy family room. A comfortable place for grandchildren, guests, or simply a quiet corner to pick up where you left off in a great book. And if downsizing has you wondering where everything will go, the full lower level offers peace of mind. There is abundant storage, generous ceiling height and a bathroom rough-in. Plenty of room for hobbies, seasonal items, or a smart opportunity to enhance the home's value in the years ahead. Outside, the backyard offers plenty of room to create something special. Gardens, outdoor living, or space for kids to play. Walk to nearby parks, the Sportsplex, and enjoy the convenience of downtown that day-to-day living refreshingly simple. This is the kind of home that fits today beautifully, and still leaves room for tomorrow.
