THE "HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO" BUNGALOW: HALF AN ACRE, TWO LIVING SPACES, A HEATED GARAGE & NO REAR NEIGHBOURS! A lot this size, a setting this peaceful and a layout that actually works for multigenerational living don't come along often. Set on more than half an acre in Essa's quiet Colwell community, this updated bungalow offers a fenced backyard with mature trees along the back, agricultural land beyond the property and no homes directly behind, creating a private outdoor setting with a patio, a deck for each living area, landscape lighting and open lawn space. The main home features a bright two-bedroom layout with newer flooring, an updated 5-piece bathroom and a spacious kitchen with extensive cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a large centre island and open flow into the dining area. A separate self-contained main-floor living space offers excellent in-law potential with its own bedroom, kitchen, living area, two bathrooms, dedicated furnace, air conditioning and water heater, making it ideal for extended family, older children craving more independence or guests who appreciate their own space. Shared laundry is located in the heated attached two-car garage, which also provides excellent room for vehicles, hobbies and year-round projects, while the driveway accommodates six more vehicles. Enjoy the serenity of a private setting that feels tucked away without being far from town, just 5 minutes to Barrie, under 10 minutes to Angus and close to nearby golf courses.
