What makes a property truly rare? A beautifully updated, move-in-ready home on an exceptional mature lot in one of Orillia's most sought-after neighbourhoods, where homes rarely come to market. Welcome to 12 Francis Rd.This all-brick bungalow sits on a generous 100 x 150 ft lot in the desirable North Ward, just steps from Lake Couchiching with deeded access to a private community beach and park. Thoughtfully renovated inside and out, this home is completely turnkey. Exterior updates include a new asphalt driveway, concrete walkway and front steps, all new windows and doors, a Generac generator, and an insulated, drywalled garage with a new concrete floor. Inside, the bright open-concept main floor features oversized windows, engineered hardwood flooring, and a stunning kitchen with two-tone cabinetry, quartz countertops, tile backsplash, and a large island perfect for entertaining. Three spacious bedrooms and a beautifully renovated 5-piece bathroom with double vanity, heated floors, and a tiled shower complete the level. The fully redesigned lower level offers an inviting rec room, custom wet bar with quartz counters, a second renovated 5-piece bathroom with heated floors, abundant storage, and flexible space for a home office. Additional windows fill the lower level with natural light, while updated waterproofing, furnace, and sump pump provide peace of mind. The backyard is an entertainer's dream, featuring a large deck, 36 x 16 ft pool with deep end (pump, liner, and filter updated within the last five years), expansive green space for kids and pets, and a stamped concrete patio. Set in a quiet, mature neighbourhood just minutes from shopping, dining, schools, and everyday amenities, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy an exceptional home, incredible lot, and coveted lakeside lifestyle.
