BIG-TICKET UPDATES, IN-LAW POTENTIAL & A BACKYARD YOU DIDN'T SEE COMING! In Wasaga Beach, buyers expect to be close to the water, but they do not expect to find a quiet, tree-wrapped bungalow with this much yard to enjoy, important updates already handled, and a finished walk-out lower level with separate access that makes in-law potential one of the home's smartest advantages. Set on a peaceful, tree-lined street just minutes from Georgian Bay and the world's longest freshwater beach, 82 Helena Street is an all-brick bungalow on a generous 106 x 145 ft fully fenced lot that feels far more tucked away than its in-town address suggests. The backyard may steal the show, but the practical wins deserve their own spotlight, including a newer metal roof, newer furnace, heat pump and updated windows. The main floor is bright and connected, with sightlines from the kitchen to the dining area, an easy flow into the living room and a triple-pane front bay window that brings in natural light. Three main floor bedrooms and a 4-piece bath support easy bungalow living, while the finished walk-out basement expands your options with a rec room warmed by a cozy gas fireplace, a gym area, full bath and space for extended family, teens or guests. Walk to parks, transit and a nearby shopping plaza for groceries and dining, spend weekends along Wasaga Beach's famous shoreline, then come home to a yard with room for patio dinners, garden beds, four-legged family members, visiting grandkids or quiet mornings under the trees. With convenient access to Collingwood, Barrie and the GTA, plus exciting growth and future development planned throughout the area, this #HomeToStay is well suited for full-time living, weekend getaways or long-term investment potential.
