Set directly on the shores of Kempenfelt Bay within Lakhouse Lakefront Residences, this never-lived-in one-bedroom plus den suite pairs extensive upgrades and refined finishes with a thoughtfully curated collection of amenities that elevate the waterfront lifestyle. Southwest exposure opens the residence to views across Kempenfelt Bay, while the enclosed Lumon balcony features retractable glass panels that open to fresh lake air or close to create a sheltered setting for enjoying the water through the seasons. Quiet mornings over the lake give way to glowing sunsets, fireworks, airshows and ever-changing views across the bay. Wide-plank flooring, designer lighting and ceiling fans complement an upgraded kitchen with flat-panel cabinetry, quartz counters, new premium appliances, a wine fridge and an oversized island with seating.

Boating, fishing, paddling, waterfront trails and winter recreation extend the experience through every season. Downtown dining, Five Points Theatre, MacLaren Art Centre, the marina and Barrie's waterfront events place dining, culture and life on the water at the heart of the experience.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $1111/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 21 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.
Condo Considerations
For condos, I always review the status certificate thoroughly. Key things I look for: reserve fund health (should be well-funded), any upcoming special assessments, rules that might affect your lifestyle (pets, rentals, renovations), and the corporation's financial statements. The $766/month fees should cover building insurance, common elements, and reserve contributions.
Efficient Living
At 800 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 Lakeshore
I know Lakeshore 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 $3,704 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
