357190 , Thornbury, ON

Catch this one at sunrise. The front patio looks straight down into the valley where Thornbury meets Blue Mountain, with Georgian Bay sitting right there in the distance. Coffee on that patio at sunrise is a genuinely different experience than at any other time of day. This home is a side split with a layout that works for everyday life. Upstairs: three bedrooms and a full bath. Downstairs: a fourth bedroom, a two piece bath and a proper laundry room with room to put things away instead of just piling them up. The main level is open and bright. Kitchen has plenty of storage, open concept with the living and dining space, easy to host in without everyone crammed into one room. Patio doors off the kitchen lead out to the back deck, which has its own dining area under a pergola, another great spot to enjoy outside besides the pool. Out back, the pool is the kind of feature that changes how you use a whole season. It's in ground, lots of space around it to lounge with all your friends, not just a deck chair wedged in the corner. Morning laps before the day starts, a slow float with your coffee after catching that sunrise, either way this backyard earns its keep from May through September. There's also a three piece bath just off that pool walkout. Wet feet stay contained to one spot instead of trailing through the house. Then back to that front patio, because it really is the headline here. Stone underfoot, Thornbury and the valley laid out ahead, Georgian Bay catching the early light. If a view is on your list, this one belongs on it. If it wasn't, it might be now.
