Welcome to 163 Emms Drive, a beautifully maintained all brick raised bungalow set on an exceptional premium lot backing directly onto the Ardagh Bluffs (one of Barrie's most cherished natural areas, offering extensive walking trails through protected forest, wetlands, and rolling terrain that create a peaceful escape right within the City) offering an incredibly private setting surrounded by mature trees. This deep fully fenced property provides a rare outdoor retreat with a sprawling rear deck, covered canopy area, garden shed, and stunning natural backdrop perfect for entertaining or quiet relaxation.Located in Barrie's highly sought after Holly community, this home is close to parks, trails, highly rated schools, recreation centres, shopping, restaurants, public transit, golf, Highway 400 access, and every daily convenience while still delivering remarkable privacy and tranquility.Thoughtfully redesigned for enhanced comfort and functionality, the open concept main level features spacious living and dining areas flowing into the large kitchen with abundant cabinetry, pantry, and walkout to the rear deck. Originally designed as a 3 bedroom layout, the floor plan was reconfigured into 2 bedrooms to create a spectacular primary retreat featuring a custom closet area by Closet By Design and a spa inspired ensuite with double sinks, soaker tub, oversized glass shower with seat, ceramics, and pot lights.The bright lower level offers outstanding versatility with a welcoming rec room highlighted by a cozy gas fireplace, two additional bedrooms, office space, and a full bathroom, making this home ideal for families, guests, or multi generational living. Additional features include a double car garage with inside entry, extensive built in storage, garage door remotes, California shutters, French doors, rounded corners, distinctive round top windows, and upgraded insulation completed in 2025. A rare opportunity to own a truly private ravine property in Barrie!
