OVER 1,900 FINISHED SQ FT, MULTIPLE LIVING AREAS & A BEAUTIFULLY LANDSCAPED BACKYARD IN CENTRAL BARRIE! Set on a quiet, tree-lined street near Sunnidale Arboretum and Riverwood Park, this three-level sidesplit offers generous living space and a backyard that feels far removed from the city. Large upgraded windows carry natural light through the home, while the main-level living room/library gives the home its personality with a soaring vaulted ceiling, built-in bookshelves, a wood accent wall, an extra-large window and a Napoleon gas fireplace. A walkout from this level leads to the backyard, where mature trees and established perennial gardens surround the deck and lawn, creating a secluded setting for outdoor meals or afternoons beneath the trees. The second level features a large family room and dining area with room for everyday use as well as larger celebrations, while the eat-in kitchen offers extensive cabinetry, long stretches of counter space and views of the greenery outside. Three comfortable bedrooms share a 4-piece bathroom. The lower level adds a rec room suited to movie nights, hobbies or older children, along with a 2-piece bathroom, laundry area and interior access to the double garage. A furnace, air conditioner and owned hot water tank, all from 2022, take several major mechanical expenses off a buyer's immediate to-do list. Shopping and schools are close by, with downtown Barrie, the waterfront and commuter routes only minutes away.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $604/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 18 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 Sunnidale
I know Sunnidale 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 $2,770 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
