17 Barrie Avenue

It was worth the wait.Loved, cared for and thoughtfully improved by the same family for more than a decade, 17 Barrie Avenue is ready for its next chapter. Beautifully renovated and generously proportioned, this 3-bedroom semi delivers on the things families so rarely find together in St. Clair West - more space, more function and fewer compromises. Extended years ago and offering over 1600 sq. ft. above grade (per floor plans), this home simply lives larger than the typical neighbourhood semi.The bright, open main floor was designed for real life, with ever elusive, front hall closet and powder room, a generous kitchen featuring Caesarstone counters, abundant cabinetry and an easy flow through the living and dining spaces. Upstairs are three comfortable bedrooms including an oversized primary bedroom and a renovated family bath, while the finished lower level adds another substantial layer of living space - perfect for movie nights, kids playroom, guest space, a home office or all of the above.This isn't a home that's simply been dressed up for sale. The current family has invested extensively in it, improving not only what you see, but what you don't. A major renovation included reframing, rewiring, a new kitchen and bathrooms, followed over the years by a fully renovated basement, upgraded plumbing and internal main drain, a Viessmann combi boiler with individually zoned radiant heating, ductless heating and cooling, a backwater valve, upgraded " water service, new windows (2023) and more.Outside, the professionally landscaped backyard creates a wonderful extension of the living space, while a full roof replacement in 2023 and new eaves and downspouts in 2024 add even more peace of mind.
