WOW! What an extraordinary opportunity under 650k!! In the heart of Allandale. Set on a massive 101 x 235 mature, treed lot, this home offers unmatched privacy and tranquillity rarely found within city limits. A long, private driveway stretches over 100 feet from the road, opening to reveal this beautiful residence, perfectly nestled among towering trees in complete serenity. A detached garage/workshop with power includes a bonus lower level, ideal for a hobbyist, home gym, or studio, while parking for 10 vehicles adds incredible convenience. The home's wrap-around porch features an impressive 12 x 40 covered front veranda - an additional living space to relax through summer evenings or rainy days alike. Blending timeless craftsmanship and vintage charm, the interior offers four bedrooms (one on the main floor) and two full bathrooms, including a renovated 4-piece bath and foyer with heated floors. Natural light fills every room with treed views throughout, while the private, landscaped backyard showcases lush gardens, a raised deck, and room for a potential pool oasis or garden suite. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms and a full bath, complemented by the original staircase and character hardwood flooring beneath the current finishings. Updates include structural work to the porch, newer shingles for the porch and garage, eavestroughs, and west-side foundation waterproofing. Located just minutes to the Allandale Waterfront GO Station, Kempenfelt Bay, downtown Barrie, and steps to Shear Park and St. John Catholic School and Church, this rare, character-filled home offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a property on an estate-sized lot in one of Barrie's sought-after neighbourhoods.
