120 Emily Street, Orillia

This thoughtfully updated home balances charm, functionality, and warmth, offering a unique opportunity to own a property filled with both character and care. Set in a walkable Orillia neighbourhood known for its small-town feel and access to city conveniences, this home reflects years of meaningful improvements and heartfelt memories.

Outside, the property has seen significant investment. The garage was structurally reinforced with rebuilt north wall studs and a new roof in 2022. A French drain was installed along the north side to improve drainage. The front yard features a flourishing pollinator garden, while the backyard offers a peaceful retreat with growing grass, dual privacy fences, and a custom storage cupboard for garbage and recycling bins. The front porch was enclosed to provide secure and accessible storage, and mature trees have been professionally maintained and braced by arborists between 2019 
and 2020.

Inside, numerous updates enhance both comfort and efficiency. All ground-floor windows (excluding the bathroom) and doors were replaced in 2019. A high-efficiency furnace and on-demand water heater were added between 2018 and 2019, along with a central air system. In 2025, the bathroom received a refresh with a new vanity and cupboard. A pair of built-in shelves flanking the fireplace were converted to exposed bookcases in 2023.. A new washer and dryer, installed in 2023, add to the home's turn-key appeal.

The main floor includes two bedrooms and a 4-piece bathroom, offering flexibility and convenience. Upstairs, a quirky and adaptable loft space invites creativity. It has served as a multi-functional area that can easily transform into a guest room, studio, or third bedroom.

Throughout the home, original details like the sitting room fireplace and visible fieldstone foundation add a rare sense of history and craftsmanship. It's a home that feels supportive and welcoming from the moment you step through the door. Morning routines often begin in the living room with a warm coffee and a good book, while the backyard has been the backdrop for quiet evenings and 
bonfires alike.

The neighbourhood offers excellent access to parks, the beach, downtown shops, grocery stores, the library, and beloved local spots like Mark IV Brothers Coffee. With a 20–25 minute commute to Barrie and a strong sense of community, this home offers the perfect blend of culture, calm, 
and connectivity.
