CHARMING 3-BEDROOM SOUTH BARRIE SIDESPLIT ON A 60 X 125 FT LOT WITH A LARGE SUNROOM, PRIVATE MATURE-TREED YARD & GAS FIREPLACE! If you have been waiting for a South Barrie home where the backyard becomes part of how you spend your time, take a closer look at this one. Mature trees surround the fully fenced yard, with a deep lawn for kids and pets, a side patio that practically calls for dinner off the barbecue and a shed ready for bikes, gardening gear and seasonal storage. The large sunroom keeps you connected to the yard even when the weather turns, surrounded by windows with an exposed brick wall and a recently replaced sliding glass door. The open main level brings the living room, dining area and kitchen together, so conversation can carry from dinner prep to the table without everyone disappearing into separate rooms. Large front windows bring in natural light, while the kitchen offers ample cabinetry for everything you actually use. Three bedrooms and a 4-piece bath are upstairs, and when movie night wins out, the partially finished basement has a rec room with a gas fireplace and newer laminate flooring, plus laundry and storage space. The driveway parks four, and when you do head out, schools, parks, transit, Yonge Street shopping, Kempenfelt Bay and the marina are all minutes away.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $893/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.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Barrie'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 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.
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.
