This is a land play, not a home renovation. You're buying 66 by 166 feet of prime redevelopment ground in Barrie's west end, currently occupied by an older 1.5-storey duplex. The house itself is dated: 3 beds, 2 baths, stucco exterior, full unfinished basement. But the real value is in the dirt. Zoned RM2 (SP-189), this lot's ready for higher-density residential, subject to city approvals. Frontage is a solid 66 feet, and the depth gives you room to work with. There's a detached garage and 5 parking spots, so it's got some utility as a rental while you sort out permits. The location's in transition, with new builds popping up all around. You're 0.3 km from Barrie Central Collegiate, 1.1 km to the public library, and a bunch of restaurants and pubs within 0.6 km. If you want more land, you can grab the neighbor at 191 Dunlop Street W (not listed here, but likely available) to get 99 feet of frontage total. Market stats show nearby median sold price at $609,900, but this lot's priced at $649,900, which makes sense given the development upside. Houses here sell in about 49 days, so demand's real. Existing structure sold as-is. Do your own due diligence on what you can actually build. Big opportunity for a builder or investor.
