BUNGALOW WITH IN-LAW POTENTIAL IN A DESIRABLE EAST-END LOCATION, WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF THE WATERFRONT & SET ON A 50 X 120 FT LOT WITH A DETACHED GARAGE! Bring the Pinterest board, the paint swatches and the big ideas because 171 Codrington Street is the home you'll still be thinking about after the showing ends. Located within the catchment area of highly regarded schools, this lovingly maintained home gives you the chance to buy the location you've been waiting for and make it completely your own. Newer windows, roof and furnace have already taken care of several big-ticket updates, leaving you free to focus on the fun part: choosing the finishes and details that reflect your own style. The main level features a spacious living room with crown moulding and a large front window, a separate dining room that was originally the third bedroom and could easily be converted back, plus a kitchen with a cozy breakfast nook for casual meals. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the layout, with one bedroom offering a walkout to the backyard. A separate side door leads to the unfinished basement, opening the door to future in-law capability or additional living space. Mature trees and established gardens frame the beautifully private backyard, where the covered rear deck is ready for summer dinners, the generous lawn leaves room for kids, pets or a future garden, and the detached garage is ideal for tools, toys and weekend projects. Walk to the waterfront, parks, schools and scenic trails, with downtown Barrie's restaurants, shops and year-round events also close by. Whether you are buying your first home, downsizing or looking for a project worth pouring your heart into, this is your opportunity to create something truly yours.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $841/sqft, this property is priced in line with current Barrie 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.
Market Position
At 38 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.
Efficient Living
At 700 sqft, this is a more compact space. The upside: lower utility bills, less maintenance, and easier cleaning. Consider how you'll use the space - built-in storage, multi-functional furniture, and good organization become important. Great for singles, couples, or those who prefer a low-maintenance lifestyle.
About Codrington
I know Codrington 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 $2,454 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
