FREEHOLD TOWNHOME IN A SOUGHT-AFTER NEIGHBOURHOOD WITH A LANDSCAPED BACKYARD & MODERN UPDATES! Some homes are easy to admire, but 17 Bruce Crescent feels easy to imagine yourself living in, with thoughtful updates throughout and an open-concept layout that instantly feels like home. Set on a quiet street in Barrie's Bayshore neighbourhood, this freehold townhome is close to everyday amenities, Tyndale Beach, public transit, and the GO Train, with Algonquin Ridge E.S. and nearby parks within walking distance. A brick exterior, attached 1car garage with inside entry, parking for three vehicles total, and no sidewalk adds everyday practicality right from the start. Out back, the fully fenced yard is a standout for a townhome, featuring tall updated privacy fencing, interlock patio space, mature shrubs, garden beds, and green space that create a lovely setting to enjoy. The main floor offers an open-concept layout with a gas fireplace in the living area, a walkout to the backyard, and a bright white kitchen finished with black hardware, select stainless steel appliances, and an island. Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms include a primary with a large walk-in closet, along with an updated 4-piece main bathroom with a glass shower door and niche. Modern paint tones, newer flooring throughout, and updated stairs and staircase add to the home's appeal. The finished basement adds even more flexibility with a 4th bedroom, a 3-piece bathroom, a laundry area, and storage. With its finished basement, fenced backyard, and convenient Bayshore location, this is a #HomeToStay that offers more than you might expect!
