TURN-KEY TOWNHOME WITH MAJOR UPDATES, HOT TUB & A DEEP BACKYARD! A 109 ft deep lot gives this well-maintained 3-bedroom Barrie townhome an outdoor setup that immediately sets it apart. The fully fenced backyard features a large deck, hot tub, gardens and lawn, creating a great spot for summer dinners, evenings outside or weekends at home. Bigger-ticket updates include a newer furnace, air conditioner and hot water tank, along with reverse-osmosis and water-filtration systems. Oak-inspired engineered hardwood flooring runs through the main and second levels, while the kitchen has been refreshed with newer appliances, updated tile flooring, white cabinetry and a tiled backsplash. The kitchen opens directly to the dining area, where sliding doors lead to the deck, while the generous living room sits just off the kitchen and dining space. A remodelled powder room completes the main level. The second level offers three bedrooms, including a spacious primary with semi-ensuite access to the 4-piece bathroom. The finished basement adds a rec room and separate den, creating extra space for movie nights, workouts, gaming, working from home or hobbies.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $545/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.
Townhouse Benefits
Townhouses offer an excellent balance of space and maintenance. You get more room than a condo with lower upkeep than a detached home. Key things to verify: whether it's freehold or condo-titled (affects fees and rules), and the condition of shared walls for noise considerations. Townhouses in Barrie have shown strong appreciation as families seek more space.
Starter Home Potential
3 bedrooms works well for couples planning families or small families with one child. Consider whether you might outgrow the space in 5-7 years. If so, factor in potential moving costs when making your decision. Alternatively, some buyers convert a bedroom to an office and make it work long-term.
About Georgian Drive
I know Georgian Drive 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 $2,496 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
Let's See It Together
Photos only tell part of the story. During our showing, I'll point out things the camera doesn't capture: neighbourhood feel, natural light quality, traffic noise, and overall condition. I'll also share what comparable homes have sold for and help you craft a winning strategy if you decide to move forward.
