Welcome to 25 Holgate Street - a charming and expanded home tucked in the heart of historic Old Allandale, one of Barrie's most established and sought-after neighbourhoods. This property sits on a generous 57 x 133 ft lot, siding onto Shear Park, offering rare privacy and green views right from your doorstep. A thoughtful 2009 addition brings surprising space and comfort: a large primary bedroom retreat with ensuite and large walk-in closet, bright family room with a 3-sided gas fireplace, a versatile 3-season sunroom, and an oversized single garage with room for storage or hobby space. The home now features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, freshly painted throughout and carefully maintained - truly larger than it appears from the street. The Old Allandale area blends small-town character with city convenience. Tree-lined streets, heritage homes, and walkable access to the Barrie GO Station, waterfront, and local cafés make this a standout location for those who value both history and lifestyle. Adjacent Shear Park is a beloved community green space, with open lawns, mature trees, playground, ball diamond, tennis court, community garden and walking paths - perfect for morning coffee strolls or evening sunsets. If you've been searching for a home that balances character, modern updates, and a connection to nature - this Allandale gem is one you won't want to miss. (id:63267)
