SUMMERTIME STUNNER! This beautifully renovated 4-level backsplit with timeless finishes is sure to make you say "wow" from the moment you walk through the door. The private backyard oasis makes summer entertaining effortless with an inground saltwater pool, expansive patio and deck areas built for barbecue dinners, s'mores with the kids around the fire table, karaoke by the pool or a quiet evening nap in the hammock. When winter arrives, the lower-level living room offers a cozy place to curl up by the stone fireplace and enjoy a movie night at home. Nearly 2,100 finished square feet are arranged across a layout defined by soaring ceilings, open sightlines and a wrought-iron staircase. The kitchen features white cabinetry topped with crown moulding, granite countertops, a travertine tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a built-in wine rack and a centre island, while the adjacent breakfast area offers a walkout overlooking the pool. A separate formal dining room can remain a dedicated dining space or become an additional main-floor living area, depending on how you choose to use it. Hardwood flooring extends throughout the main and upper levels, complemented by solid oak stairs, three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a spacious laundry room with extensive cabinetry, a beverage station and direct access to the backyard. The timeless brick exterior is framed by landscaped gardens, an irrigation system and an attached double garage, while newer shingles, furnace and pool components, including the Raypak pool heater and salt cell, along with an owned hot water tank, add to the long list of updates.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $863/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.
Market Position
At 39 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.
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.
About Ardagh
I know Ardagh well from working with many buyers and sellers here. Each pocket has its own character - let me share what I've learned about this specific street and block. During our showing, I'll point out local amenities, school catchments, and what similar homes have sold for recently.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Barrie properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $3,954 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
