2024-BUILT FAMILY HOME ON A WEST-FACING CORNER LOT WITH OVER 2,400 SQ FT & ROOM TO GROW! More than 2,400 square feet above grade, a west-facing corner lot, and a newer build in a master-planned Barrie neighbourhood set the stage for a home that feels spacious, bright, and ready for real life. A bright front entry, high ceilings, and well-sized principal rooms give the interior an open, comfortable feel from the moment you walk in. Hardwood and tile flooring run through the main level, main floor laundry adds practical convenience, and the kitchen is finished with white cabinetry, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a large centre island that naturally becomes the place everyone gathers. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms offer plenty of flexibility for family life, guests, or a home office, including a generously sized primary retreat with a walk-in closet and large 5-piece ensuite, while a second bedroom also features its own walk-in closet, an added detail buyers will appreciate. The unspoiled basement leaves room to grow, whether you are thinking ahead to a rec room, gym, or additional living space. Outside, the modern stone exterior, covered front entry, large windows, and double car garage give this home the kind of exterior buyers slow down for, while the location puts trails, bike paths, playgrounds, a 12-acre sports park, Hyde Park, schools, shopping, commuter routes, and daily essentials all close by. Weekends can take you to the waterfront, Centennial Beach, Friday Harbour Resort, golf, ski hills, and year-round recreation within 30 minutes.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $450/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 28 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.
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.
Family-Friendly Layout
4 bedrooms hits the sweet spot for most families. You'll have room for 2-3 children plus a home office or guest room. This is the most sought-after configuration for families relocating to Barrie. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
