12 Ellen St
Essa, ON L0L 2N0 | Thornton | Simcoe

Homes rarely come up for sale on this quiet street in Thornton, and this one is worth the wait. Set on a 73 by 127 foot lot with mature trees and room to breathe, this brick bungalow has been thoughtfully updated while keeping the easy, all-on-one-level lifestyle that downsizers and retirees are looking for.The primary suite sits on the main floor with a walk-in closet and three piece ensuite, so daily living happens without a staircase in sight. A second bedroom, full kitchen, family room, separate sitting area, and main floor laundry round out the upper level, giving you flexible space for hobbies, guests, or a home office.Downstairs, the finished lower level adds a recreation room, games room, and a third bedroom, which means real usable square footage when the grandkids visit or when you want a dedicated space to spread out.A few features that matter when you actually live in a home: a full home generator so winter storms are someone else's problem, owned water heater and water softener, attached double garage, and parking for six between the garage and private driveway. A cozy gas fireplace, central air, and forced air gas heat keep things comfortable year round.Then there is Thornton itself. A small village with a big personality, often called the ice cream capital of Simcoe County, with the kind of community feel that is getting harder to find. The Thornton-Cookstown rail trail is right nearby for daily walks with the dog, bike rides, or just clearing your head. You are 15 minutes to Barrie, 10 min to Highway 400, and close enough to everything without being in the middle of it.Quiet street, settled neighbourhood, a home that has been cared for, in a town people don't leave once they find it. Book a showing and see why.
