PARK-FACING FAMILY HOME IN SOUTH BARRIE SHOWCASING 4 GENEROUS BEDROOMS, MODERN UPGRADES, & A SPACIOUS, VERSATILE LAYOUT! Set in a family-friendly South Barrie neighbourhood, this home places you directly across from D & J Fralick Park, where open green space and a peaceful forested backdrop create a daily sense of calm and connection to nature right outside your door. Life here is defined by convenience and ease, with the GO Station, shopping plazas, top schools, and major commuter routes all nearby, plus Barrie's waterfront just 10 minutes away. Inside, over 2,500 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space unfolds with 9 ft ceilings, tile and hardwood flooring, and crown moulding, setting a refined tone from the moment you enter. The main level offers a bright, welcoming living and dining space that flows into a spacious eat-in kitchen with a walkout to the backyard, while a versatile den provides flexibility.

Upstairs, four generous bedrooms provide comfortable retreats for the whole family, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and 4-piece ensuite, supported by upper-level laundry and an additional full bathroom designed for convenience. The lower level extends the home's potential even further with a separate entrance, framing already in place, and a 3-piece bathroom rough-in, offering excellent in-law suite potential. Outdoors, the private, fully fenced backyard is built for entertaining and unwinding, featuring a large patio, gazebo, pizza oven, garden space, and storage shed. An attached 2-car garage, concrete driveway, and major upgrades, including a recently renovated roof, newer furnace and A/C, upgraded doors, and an owned tankless water heater and water softener complete this exceptional #HomeToStay, delivering comfort, functionality, and long-term peace of mind.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $344/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 25 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.
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 $3,583 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
