ONE HOME, TWO SEPARATE LIVING SPACES & MORE WAYS TO MAKE HOMEOWNERSHIP WORK! Set in Historic Allandale on a large corner lot beneath towering pines, this vacant legal duplex offers investors, first-time buyers and multigenerational households two fully self-contained living spaces, whether the plan is to live in one and rent the other, lease both, or keep family close while maintaining separate households. The main-floor apartment features two bedrooms, a 4-piece bath and a spacious living room with large windows, pot lights and updated flooring. The kitchen pairs white cabinetry with stainless steel appliances, a breakfast peninsula and separate pantry, with a walkout to a 19 x 16 ft deck and backyard. This unit also has its own laundry, air conditioning and access to the partially finished basement, where large windows and a spacious recreation room offer potential to add another bedroom and bathroom. The completely separate second-floor apartment includes two bedrooms, a 3-piece bath, living room, kitchen with pantry and full-size appliances, two linen closets and its own laundry. Separate hydro meters make managing the two residences easier, while some updated windows, newer shingles and a newer furnace take several larger updates off the list. Outside, the driveway accommodates six vehicles with room for an RV, trailer or boat, and an 8 x 10 ft garden shed adds useful storage. Blair Park is just steps away, while Barrie's waterfront, Allandale Waterfront GO Station, Highway 400, shopping, schools, recreation and public transit are all nearby.
