Top floor. Tree top/ park views. No neighbours above, none to one side. The elevators are steps away and the terrace is full-sized. Units like this don't come up often - not in this complex, not with these sightlines over Bear Creek Eco Park. Nearly 1,000 square feet of space that actually feels like a home. The kind of place you want to come back to at the end of the day and aren't shy about showing off. A full-sized tiled foyer with double closets sets the tone. The great room combines living, dining, and a galley kitchen - all of it spilling out to the terrace, warm laminate underfoot, complete trim work, textured ceilings, and Bear Creek framed in every window. The galley kitchen is highly functional - equally capable of a quick lunch or a proper dinner party. Down the hall, past the ensuite laundry, the principal bedroom fits a king with room for a dresser and double closets to spare. The second bedroom is genuinely sizeable - office, craft room, or guest room with a double closet, it works. The bathroom is warm and accessible, featuring an easy step-over shower, a large vanity, and real room to move. Out back, the complex opens onto Bear Creek Eco Park - walking trails, nature, and quiet. Out front, A large outdoor area with playground and sitting spaces sits within the grounds. Parking included. Ample visitor parking for guests. Barrie at your door. A taste of Muskoka out every window.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $466/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.
Efficient Living
At 900 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.
