This 3-bed, 1-bath bungalow sits on a 50x150 ft lot, just a short walk from Minet's Point Beach and the waterfront bike path. It's got that classic cottage vibe with vinyl siding and a wood/piers foundation, but don't let the exterior fool you - inside is bright and open with a vaulted ceiling, skylight, and a gas fireplace. The laminate floors run throughout, and the bathroom's been recently renovated. There's a newer deck and concrete walkway out back, plus two sheds and a hot tub - great for summer nights. The double-wide driveway fits four cars, and there's no garage. Septic system, but municipal water. Kitchen and family room are on the main level, all bedrooms too, so it's all on one floor. You're 600m from Wimpy's Diner and about 2km to downtown Barrie with its brewery and restaurants. Asking $555,000, which is below the nearby median of $599k, and taxes run about $4,065 a year. It's priced to move - four homes sold in the last 30 days in the area, taking an average of 68 days. If you're looking for a beachside place with rental or reno potential, this is worth a look.
