2024-BUILT BUNGALOW ON NEARLY 10 ACRES WITH A POND & NORTH RIVER FRONTAGE! Before the kitchen, before the bedrooms, before the sunroom, there's the view from above: the North River winding through the landscape, a large private pond, established hops and strawberry plantings, and nearly 10 acres of Severn countryside stretching in every direction. The vaulted white shiplap ceiling draws the eye upward in the open-concept living area, where oversized windows frame the property, a gabled skylight and pot lights brighten the living room, a wood stove adds a cozy country touch, and a walkout opens to the backyard. The living room flows seamlessly into the three-season sunroom, wrapped in windows and overlooking the pond, fields, and ever-changing landscape. The kitchen has personality everywhere you look, featuring navy lower cabinetry, white uppers, complementary countertops, floating wood shelves, stainless steel appliances, an eat-in dining area, and a sliding barn door leading to the laundry area with additional storage space. Three comfortable bedrooms include a primary suite with its own 3-piece ensuite. Built on an ICF foundation with upgraded insulation, the home also features a 5 ft crawl space for exceptional storage, a double sump pump with battery backup, generator wiring into the electrical panel to power the home with a backup generator, a 14,000 L water tank for irrigating the gardens, and a windmill aeration system for the pond. Whether you're paddling along the North River, casting a line from your own property, harvesting strawberries, expanding the gardens, or bringing your hobby farm vision to life, this #HomeToStay offers an incredible opportunity to enjoy the best of country living just minutes from Orillia.
