Description & details
A semi-detached home in south Barrie's popular Ardagh neighbourhood offered at $497,500!! With three bedrooms, one and-a-half baths and a single-car garage, this freshly painted home offers an opportunity for buyers willing to put in some work and make it their own. The kitchen walks out to a fenced backyard with no homes directly behind. An unfinished basement provides additional room for your ideas. Updating is needed throughout, and the price reflects the opportunity. Currently vacant, with possession required in 2027. Property and all included chattels and fixtures are being sold in "as is, where is" condition. This is an outstanding opportunity to get started in real estate.
The data only goes so far — condition, light and layout are worth seeing in person, with a home inspection, before you commit.
