Welcome to 116 Burton Avenue, a charming ranch bungalow with loft space, nestled in a prime Barrie location just a short stroll from the downtown GO station and all the vibrancy of the city's waterfront core. Imagine stepping into a home where everyday life feels like a retreat. The main floor features two generously sized bedrooms and a spa-like 4-piece bathroom with a corner soaker tub perfect for unwinding at day's end. The heart of the home is the open living-dining-kitchen layout, anchored by a cozy fireplace in the living room and seamless flow into a family-sized kitchen. Fresh laminate flooring stretches across the main living spaces; elsewhere, you'll find a tasteful mix of hardwood, tile, and laminate. Ascend to the upper loft, currently used as a home office, but ideal for a studio, or bonus space. The kitchen has a great space and is central to the home, and you can see families gathering in this ideal space. But the real opportunity lies beyond mere comfort: this property is zoned Multi-Family, opening doors to future development potential beyond the existing single-family home. The generous lot gives room to expand, and a large detached garage/workshop adds invaluable utility and flexibility for a growing household or hobbyist. Location is everything. This home is only minutes on foot from the GO station, giving rail access to Toronto and making commuter life seamless. You're equally close to Kempenfelt Bay and the waterfront trails, beaches, parks, and marina that define Barrie's charm. Why Barrie? This city offers the appeal of lakeside living, a full calendar of cultural and recreation events, and easy access to both the GTA and cottage country. Barrie is also consistently ranked among Canada's safer cities, fostering peace of mind and community pride. 116 Burton Avenue strikes a balance between character and possibility. Whether you want a comfortable, move-in-ready home or a property with development upside, this is your chance. (id:63267)
