This is a 2-storey century home in Orillia's Old West Ward, with about 2,100 sq ft of living space on a 50 x 132 ft lot. It's got 3 beds and 2 baths, plus a flexible main-floor great room that could serve as a primary suite or in-law setup. The renovation kept original trim and crown molding, but updated everything else: plumbing, wiring, insulation (R50 in the attic), even soundproofing between the upper bedrooms. Kitchen has built-in appliances, a pot tap, and a breakfast bar. Floors are a mix of hardwood and ceramic. You'll find a detached, heated and insulated garage with a steel roof, plus parking for 4 cars total. The lot is fenced, with perennial gardens and a private patio off the dining room. There's main-floor laundry and a partial basement for extra storage, along with a specialized air filter on the furnace. Forced air gas heat and central AC keep it comfortable year-round. It's on a quiet street, a short walk to downtown (about 1 km), with schools like Park Street Collegiate under a km away. Taxes run $3,507 annually. Priced at $774,999, it sits above the nearby median of $595k, but you're paying for the character and updates. You'd be hard-pressed to find this kind of original detail in a new build.
