A rare downtown opportunity with exceptional upside. Set on a massive 57 x 184 in-town lot in the heart of Barrie, this fully renovated character home offers immediate comfort with long-term flexibility. Walkable to shops, restaurants, the waterfront, and the Farmers Market, yet quietly positioned away from the downtown bustle.The home has been thoughtfully updated throughout, including kitchen with quartz countertops, windows, doors, electrical, plumbing, two newer bathrooms, and efficient climate systems (new heat pump and gas furnace in 2024). The backyard has had a sizeable upgrade with extensive stone patio, borders and seating areas. A true entertainers delight! A separate rear entrance leads to a finished lower-level bedroom and bath - ideal for in-law use or income potential.With R2 zoning permitting garden suites, the property presents multiple future options: expand the existing home, add a secondary dwelling, enlarge the garage, or create a premium outdoor living space by adding a pool. Oversized detached garage, fully fenced yard, and a location where lot size alone sets this property apart. Live in it now, enhance it later - opportunities like this are increasingly rare.
