High Design. Unmistakable Presence. Crafted To Be Remembered. Perched above Kempenfelt Bay on a wooded 0.39-acre lot, this architecturally distinctive timber-frame residence is shaped by lake and forest views, with towering windows and exposed beams drawing the surrounding landscape into nearly every room. Significant investment in extensive improvements has refined the home with glass railings, custom walnut doors, designer lighting and white oak hardwood on the upper level. The main living area centres around a wood-burning fireplace with a stone surround beneath soaring timber ceilings, while oversized windows frame the water beyond like constantly changing artwork. The modern kitchen features two-tone cabinetry, quartz countertops, an apron sink and KitchenAid and Samsung stainless steel appliances beside a dining area surrounded by windows. Two generously proportioned bedrooms include an expansive primary with a sitting area, a wood fireplace and a custom walk-in closet with a glass door, complemented by an updated 4-piece bathroom with a freestanding tub. The walk-out lower level continues the home's architectural detailing with limestone floors, custom floor-to-ceiling windows and a lift-and-slide glass door opening the rec room to the wooded setting. A Jøtul gas stove, porcelain-tiled 3-piece bath with an imported Spanish vanity, fully integrated walk-in closet with custom shelving and a glass door, and wine-cellar readiness complete the level. Outdoors, ash decking and glass railings overlook tiered armour stone landscaping among mature trees. The attached garage is finished to the same exacting standard with spray-foam insulation, epoxy flooring, panoramic Low-E glazing and an insulated glass overhead door.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $800/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Barrie's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Barrie are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
About North Shore
I know North Shore well from working with many buyers and sellers here. Each pocket has its own character - let me share what I've learned about this specific street and block. During our showing, I'll point out local amenities, school catchments, and what similar homes have sold for recently.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Barrie properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $6,666 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
