TOP-FLOOR CORNER PENTHOUSE WITH 1,464 SQ. FT. & TREED VIEWS! Overlooking the greenery of Bear Creek Park in sought-after Ardagh, this spacious suite gives you three bedrooms, two bathrooms and the freedom of low-maintenance living without feeling like you have downsized your life. Crown moulding and a feature wall add character to the living room, while the walkout to the private balcony puts the treed view front and centre, whether dinner moves outside or you simply want a quiet place to sit at the end of the day. The adjoining dining area gives you a proper place for long dinners and holiday meals, while the updated kitchen pairs white cabinetry with quartz counters, a mosaic tile backsplash and ample storage. The primary bedroom enjoys its own treed outlook, along with a large walk-in closet and private 4-piece ensuite. Two additional bedrooms leave room for family, overnight guests or a proper home office, with a separate 3-piece bathroom featuring a glass-enclosed tiled shower nearby. In-suite laundry, underground parking and a spacious storage locker take care of the practical side of condo living, while the building also offers a party and meeting room, visitor parking and a playground, with barbecues permitted. Bear Creek Eco Park and local trails are close by, with shopping, downtown Barrie, the waterfront and Allandale GO Station only minutes away. If you are ready to leave exterior upkeep behind without giving up the rooms and square footage, this Ardagh suite makes the transition an appealing one.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $356/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.
Market Position
At 27 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. We'll want to verify the monthly fees and what they include.
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.

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.
