FULLY RENOVATED BUNGALOW WITH A MAGAZINE-WORTHY KITCHEN, HEATED INGROUND POOL & RECENTLY FINISHED BASEMENT! Built around a backyard that steals the show, this designer-renovated bungalow features a heated inground pool, expansive stone patio, pergola, built-in outdoor kitchen and mature landscaping, creating a summer setup that is hard to leave. The all-brick exterior, covered front entry, modern black garage doors and attached double garage give the home eye-catching curb appeal, while the interior has been redesigned from top to bottom with tasteful finishes and exceptional attention to detail. Newer engineered hardwood flooring extends throughout the main level and continues down the custom staircase. The white kitchen centres around an 8-ft quartz island with waterfall edges, seating for four, matching quartz counters, ceiling-height cabinetry, brass hardware, a concealed microwave and premium stainless steel appliances. It opens to the breakfast area and family room, where an updated electric fireplace framed by a shiplap bump-out and a walkout connect directly to the pool and patio. A separate living and dining area sits at the front of the home. Both bedrooms feature walk-in closets, including a generous primary with a dramatic accent wall and large window. The renovated main-floor 3-piece bathroom features a glass shower and granite counter, while the lower-level bathroom includes a freestanding soaker tub. The recently finished lower level offers a recreation room with a built-in wet bar, plus a separate games room and exercise area, with flexibility to create a third bedroom. Located in one of Barrie's most sought-after neighbourhoods near the Ardagh Bluffs trails, excellent schools and a park almost across the street, this is the house everyone will want to visit and the backyard no one will want to leave.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $908/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 31 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.

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 $4,163 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
