Property Description

Sidesplit In Barrie’s Established East End With A Generous 59 x 120 Ft Lot, Cozy Wood-Burning Fireplace & Finished Basement With Wet Bar!

At 126 Steel Street in Barrie’s East End, a traditional sidesplit sits on a generous 59 x 120 ft lot, surrounded by the mature trees and established homes that give this neighbourhood its character. The sidesplit layout gives each living area its own place in the home, with traditional finishes that invite a new owner’s personal touch.

The stone, brick and siding exterior is complemented by an attached single-car garage with inside entry and driveway parking for four vehicles. Around back, a large multi-level deck overlooks the lawn, with mature trees and colourful gardens lining the property. An interlock patio provides another seating area, while the generous yard leaves room for gardening, outdoor meals or simply enjoying the sunshine.

The living room enjoys an abundance of natural light from a wall of windows overlooking the front yard. Hardwood flooring adds to its traditional character, while a wood-burning fireplace gives colder evenings a particularly good reason to stay home. The separate dining room offers a place to sit down and enjoy a meal, with sliding doors opening directly onto the deck. When the weather turns warm, dinner can just as easily be enjoyed outdoors.

The adjoining kitchen offers an abundance of white cabinetry, generous counter space and large windows overlooking the backyard. Whether you’re preparing a quick weekday dinner or taking your time with a favourite recipe, the gardens provide a lovely view while you work.

Upstairs, three bedrooms with hardwood flooring share a 4-piece bathroom. A few steps below the main floor, the family room offers another place to spend time, whether that means watching a favourite television series or finding a quiet corner with a book. A 2-piece bathroom, inside entry from the attached garage and a separate exterior entrance are also located on this level.

Downstairs, the finished recreation room brings a whole new set of possibilities for spending time at home. Think Friday nights with friends, a game of pool with a little friendly competition or settling in to watch the playoffs. The wet bar keeps refreshments close at hand, while the room offers space to create a favourite spot for games, movie marathons or an evening that turns into an unexpectedly late night. It’s a place to have some fun, make a little noise and enjoy having a part of the house devoted entirely to leisure.

There’s a reason Barrie’s East End has long been a favourite among those who know the city well. Living near Kempenfelt Bay means an afternoon at Johnson’s Beach doesn’t have to be a special occasion. The streets have matured over decades, with homes that have their own personalities, gardens that have had time to flourish and larger lots that are increasingly difficult to find in newer subdivisions. Downtown Barrie and waterfront trails are nearby, while schools, Georgian College, Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre and Highway 400 are just minutes away.
