11 Crestwood Drive, Barrie

Welcome to 11 Crestwood Drive, an extraordinary example of craftsmanship and architectural excellence. This iconic timber frame home, built from 150-year-old Douglas Fir beams and completed in 1981 by engineer and architect Gary Wismer, offers a blend of historical charm and modern luxury. The home boasts breathtaking water views from every level and room, including a panoramic view from the garage, an absolute must-see! This meticulously updated residence showcases careful restoration and high-end finishes throughout. The extensive landscaping, expertly designed by HardRock Landscaping of Barrie, enhances the property's natural beauty. The lower-level basement is a haven of relaxation and indulgence, featuring a spa-like three-piece bathroom, a custom display walk-in closet, and a fully prepared wine cellar. In 2021, the home underwent a complete mechanical upgrade, including a new furnace and air conditioning system, ensuring comfort and efficiency. Attention to detail is evident in every corner, from the elegant James Moder chandeliers and wall sconces to the custom Thermory Ash lumber decks, which adhere to Wismer's original plans and are complemented by stunning 12mm glass railings. Whether you're enjoying a movie night or a quiet evening on the deck, you'll appreciate the unobstructed views that enhance this home's unique and inviting atmosphere. This property is not just a home; it's a masterpiece waiting to be enjoyed. The third bedroom disclosure: he house is listed as a 3-bedroom as it originally was. My clients, a professional couple, did not need the third bedroom in the lower level, and opened the separating wall during the renovation process. If a buyer needs the third bedroom, my clients offer to restore the lower level to its original layout at their own expense before closing.
