MOVE-IN READY BUNGALOW WITH AN INGROUND POOL, PEACEFUL BACKYARD RETREAT, FINISHED BASEMENT, & EXTENSIVE MODERN UPGRADES IN DESIRABLE SOUTH BARRIE! Welcome home to one of South Barrie's most desirable neighbourhoods, where everyday living feels connected, convenient, and effortlessly enjoyable. Just steps from Painswick Park and minutes from public transit, schools, shopping, dining, the GO Station, Hwy 400, scenic trails, and the Kempenfelt Bay waterfront, the location easily supports an active and well-rounded lifestyle. Inside, the home opens into a bright sunroom filled with natural light through a full wall of windows, creating a warm first impression. The open concept layout allows the living room, dining area, and kitchen to flow seamlessly together, with newer stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, and a backyard walkout. The outdoor setting is a true retreat, featuring an expansive fenced yard surrounded by mature trees for exceptional privacy, and a spacious deck with a newer GFI electrical box, a gazebo, a natural gas BBQ hookup, and solid concrete footings designed for long-term enjoyment. A large inground pool anchors the yard, with a pump motor and sand filtration system in good working order, a poolhouse with updated paint and lighting, and a pumphouse upgraded with an electrical panel and direct house connection. Three generous main-floor bedrooms are supported by a fully renovated 3-piece bath, taken down to the studs and rebuilt with quality finishes. The lower level extends the living space with a rec room, bedroom, office, newer full bath, and laundry, offering strong in-law suite potential. Extensive exterior upgrades provide peace of mind, including newer windows on the main level and poolhouse, updated siding, soffit and fascia, eavestrough and downspouts, and newer front, back, garage, and poolhouse steel doors, resulting in a move-in ready #HomeToStay that blends comfort, function, and an inviting lifestyle from the inside out.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $782/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.
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.
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.
Let's See It Together
Photos only tell part of the story. During our showing, I'll point out things the camera doesn't capture: neighbourhood feel, natural light quality, traffic noise, and overall condition. I'll also share what comparable homes have sold for and help you craft a winning strategy if you decide to move forward.
