Description
## 40 Marcus Street, Barrie - $579,900A DETACHED HOME. A HUGE LOT. AND A TON OF POTENTIAL. Why settle for a townhouse when you can own a detached home on an incredible 66' x 164' treed lot in a quiet, established Barrie neighbourhood? Welcome to 40 Marcus Street, a charming century home that has been owned and loved by the same family since 1969. This is the kind of property that is becoming harder and harder to find - an affordable detached home with character today and exciting possibilities for tomorrow. Step inside and you'll find the warmth and charm you expect from an older home, including a beautiful wood staircase and plenty of opportunity to update, renovate and make the space your own. Important improvements, including a newer furnace and newer roof, have already been completed. But the real story here is the property itself. The spectacular 66-foot-wide by 164-foot-deep lot is beautifully treed, fenced and offers an incredible amount of outdoor space - something you simply don't get with most newer homes or townhouses. Enjoy it as it is, renovate and expand the existing home, or explore the property's future development possibilities. Throughout the surrounding area, many older homes are being transformed, renovated and expanded, showing just how much potential properties like this can offer. Located on a quiet street close to a park, this is an exciting opportunity for first-time buyers, renovators and investors looking beyond today's finishes and seeing the value in land, location and long-term potential. At $579,900, 40 Marcus Street is your chance to get into a detached home, own an exceptional piece of property and create something special. Bring your ideas. Bring your vision. Come see the potential for yourself.*Development, renovation, addition and other future-use opportunities are subject to municipal zoning, approvals and applicable regulations.*
