TURNKEY FAMILY HOME WITH AN ENTERTAINER'S BACKYARD, INGROUND POOL & BIG-TICKET UPDATES! Nearly 2,500 finished sq ft, an inground saltwater pool, a beautifully landscaped backyard and several valuable updates make this a home that delivers well beyond the expected. The fenced yard is framed by perennial gardens, stone accents and generous patio space, creating an easy flow between swimming, barbecuing and long afternoons in the sun. Hardwood flooring runs through the main level, where the combined living and dining room offers plenty of room for larger occasions, while the separate family room feels more relaxed with a gas fireplace and wide bay windows overlooking the pool. The eat-in kitchen keeps the backyard close with a walkout, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a tiled backsplash and an undermount sink. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and private 4-piece ensuite with a soaker tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms share a second 4-piece bathroom, while upper-level laundry saves trips up and down the stairs. The finished basement adds a rec room, 4-piece bathroom and fourth bedroom or office, while soundproofing on the main floor and basement and rounded corners add thoughtful detail. A new roof (2023), furnace, air conditioning and driveway, along with a newer pool liner, salt cell and filter cartridges, offer even more value. Across from Trillium Woods Elementary School, within walking distance of Veteran's Woods Park and close to south Barrie shopping and commuter routes, this #HomeToStay makes family life feel easier and summer a lot more fun.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $513/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.
Market Position
At 26 days on site, this property has had reasonable exposure. It hasn't sold immediately (which often indicates overpricing), but isn't languishing either. There's likely room for a 3-5% negotiation from asking price.
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.
Family-Friendly Layout
4 bedrooms hits the sweet spot for most families. You'll have room for 2-3 children plus a home office or guest room. This is the most sought-after configuration for families relocating to Barrie. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 4 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.
