1836 Quantz Crescent, Innisfil

Nestled in a little-known enclave at the border of Innisfil and Barrie—an exclusive location even most locals haven't discovered—this timeless custom-built estate offers the rare blend of city convenience and peaceful seclusion. For the first time in 35 years, this remarkable home is being offered for sale by its original owners, who designed it as a forever residence with care, craftsmanship, and character in every detail. Set on nearly 2.5 acres of park-like grounds surrounded by mature trees, this property delivers total privacy while being just minutes from everything: fine dining, golf, Friday Harbour Resort, the GO Station, major shopping, and steps to the shimmering shoreline of Lake Simcoe. Just a 15 minutes walk to Lake Simcoe. Boasting approximately 5,000 square feet of beautifully finished living space, the home features unique white brick imported from New York State, creating a stately yet inviting curb appeal. A sweeping circular interlock driveway adds to the grandeur, offering ample parking for family and guests. The front façade and driveway are framed by mature landscaping and a canopy of trees that enhance the private, park-like setting. Inside, you'll find spacious living areas with multiple fireplaces and thoughtfully designed spaces. The principal living room showcases a central fireplace with classic mantel and wall sconces, comfortable built-in seating areas, and expansive picture windows that flood the room with natural light. Rich hardwood flooring runs through much of the main level, complementing the home's original woodwork and moldings. The adjacent dining/breakfast area opens through sliding glass doors to the backyard, creating an easy indoor–outdoor flow for entertaining. The kitchen is a bright, functional hub featuring a large center island with generous stone countertops and seating, white cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances (including a built-in oven and range), plus easy access to the outdoor patio through glass doors — perfect for casual meals or summer barbecues. The upper level features five generously sized bedrooms, while the bright, walk-out lower level offers the potential for two more, perfect for extended family, guests, or a home office. The lower-level recreation room is a cozy gathering space accented with wood-paneled wainscoting and a freestanding wood/pellet stove, ideal for informal family nights or media use. Main level features office or nanny suite with separate entrance and full bathroom. The efficient radiant heating system has been recently upgraded to natural gas, providing modern comfort with timeless efficiency. Custom features throughout including original woodwork, built-in cabinetry, thoughtful layout, and enduring finishes add to the character and exclusivity of the home. Ceiling fans and ample closet/storage space appear in the bedroom suites, underscoring the home's practical day-to-day livability. This is not just a property — it's a lifestyle. Private yet connected, grand yet warm, and ready for its next chapter. (id:1945)
