It was worth the wait.Loved, cared for and thoughtfully improved by the same family for more than a decade, 17 Barrie Avenue is ready for its next chapter. Beautifully renovated and generously proportioned, this 3-bedroom semi delivers on the things families so rarely find together in St. Clair West - more space, more function and fewer compromises. Extended years ago and offering over 1600 sq. ft. above grade (per floor plans), this home simply lives larger than the typical neighbourhood semi.The bright, open main floor was designed for real life, with ever elusive, front hall closet and powder room, a generous kitchen featuring Caesarstone counters, abundant cabinetry and an easy flow through the living and dining spaces. Upstairs are three comfortable bedrooms including an oversized primary bedroom and a renovated family bath, while the finished lower level adds another substantial layer of living space - perfect for movie nights, kids playroom, guest space, a home office or all of the above.This isn't a home that's simply been dressed up for sale. The current family has invested extensively in it, improving not only what you see, but what you don't. A major renovation included reframing, rewiring, a new kitchen and bathrooms, followed over the years by a fully renovated basement, upgraded plumbing and internal main drain, a Viessmann combi boiler with individually zoned radiant heating, ductless heating and cooling, a backwater valve, upgraded " water service, new windows (2023) and more.Outside, the professionally landscaped backyard creates a wonderful extension of the living space, while a full roof replacement in 2023 and new eaves and downspouts in 2024 add even more peace of mind.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $933/sqft, this property is priced in line with current Forest Hill market conditions. The pricing suggests the seller has done their homework. We may have modest room for negotiation, typically 2-4% in today's market.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Forest Hill'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 Forest Hill 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 Forest Hill. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
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.
