This 2-storey brick house on Violet St has 5 bedrooms and 4 baths, making it a solid pick for a big family. The layout is straightforward, no carpet anywhere, which is a relief if you hate vacuuming. You're getting 39.4 feet of frontage on a 111.6-foot lot, so the backyard has decent room to play. The basement is finished and adds a 5th bedroom down there, perfect for guests or older kids. The main floor flows fine, and the attached garage fits one car, with space for 5 more in the driveway. Built with concrete foundation, so structurally sound. It's not a flip, but it's in good shape and ready for you to make it your own. Location-wise, you're half a kilometer from Bear Creek Secondary School, so walking distance for school. Barrie Molson Centre is about 4.5 km away for events. Restaurants like Thai Bamboo (2.2 km) and Boston Pizza (3.5 km) are close for takeout nights. Prices around here are hot, median sold price for similar homes is around $702k, but this one's listed at $999k. There are only 6 active listings nearby, so you've got competition.
