This 1.5-storey house sits on a treed half-acre lot in Hawkestone, about 15 minutes from Barrie. Three beds and two baths, with 2,000+ sq ft of living space. A stone and stucco facade gives it real curb appeal. You'll notice the huge attached garage right away, and it's got a vehicle lift plus tons of workspace. Perfect for a car guy or hobbyist. Inside, the main floor has a living room, kitchen with a large island, and a bedroom. Upstairs are the primary bedroom and another. Partially finished basement adds a rec room. The lot is irregular-roughly 101 by 242 ft-with mature trees. There's a drilled well and septic system. Heating is baseboard with natural gas and wood options, plus three fireplaces for those cold nights. Taxes run just over $3,100 a year. Asking $769,888 sits close to the local median of $789,888. It's been on the market for 71 days, so there's room to negotiate. You're 4.4 km from Barrie Speedway and 6 km from Lake Simcoe Regional Airport; the lake itself is a few minutes away. This place has character and space-that garage alone is worth a look.
