South Barrie Townhome With A Finished Walkout Basement & Fenced Yard! This well-kept 3-bedroom townhome for lease gives you far more than the usual rental, with newer laminate flooring and neutral finishes carrying through a layout that feels open, comfortable and easy to make your own. The spacious living room flows into the dining area, where sliding doors lead straight to a large elevated deck with room for outdoor seating and views over the fenced yard. The kitchen keeps everything within reach with ample cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. Upstairs, all three bedrooms offer good natural light and are served by an updated 4-piece bathroom. Downstairs is where this home really earns attention: a finished walkout basement adds a generous second living area with a gas fireplace, an updated 3-piece bathroom with a glass-enclosed tiled shower, and direct access to a covered patio beneath the deck. The fully fenced backyard adds another place to enjoy outside, along with a storage shed for bikes, seasonal gear and more. An attached 1-car garage with built-in storage and parking for 2 vehicles in the driveway round out the package. Set in Barrie's south end, you can walk to restaurants, schools, medical clinics and Lennox Park, while Highway 400, South Barrie GO, Costco and Park Place are approximately five minutes away. Downtown Barrie and the waterfront are also only a short drive from home.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Rent
At $2,550/mo, this is priced below the typical 3-bedroom rent of ~$3,500/mo in Barrie. Well-priced rentals move fast — worth acting on. That said, let's check what's driving the lower ask: landlord flexibility, lease term restrictions, or simply a motivated landlord.
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.
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.
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.
