60 High Street, Barrie, ON

Description

LEGENDARY ARCHITECTURE, LUXURIOUS LIVING & UNRIVALED CRAFTSMANSHIP! With unapologetic presence, this stately Tudor landmark commands attention through rich character, architectural detail, and a backyard that feels pulled from the pages of a European estate portfolio. A new heated saltwater pool, servant's quarters transformed into a private suite, Wolf range, butler's pantry, Dolby theatre, and craftsmanship that's nearly impossible to replicate - this is 60 High St, one of Barrie's most iconic homes! Built in 1929 by Shoe Factory owner Ross Underhill and now heritage-designated, it sits near the waterfront, trails, restaurants, shops, GO Transit and more. The 16' x 34' inground saltwater pool features an 8.5 ft deep end, tanning ledge, yoga zone, and OmniLogic control and is surrounded by stone walkways, an irrigation system, mature trees, and a pool shed. The Tudor-arched front door opens to quarter-cut oak flooring, walnut wainscoting, leaded glass doors, plaster crown mouldings, and a grand staircase. The kitchen stuns with quartz counters, glass backsplash, extended cabinets, under-cabinet lighting, and stainless steel appliances, including a Wolf dual fuel gas/electric range and a Sub-Zero side-by-side fridge/freezer. A butler's pantry connects to the formal dining room with a picture window and crest-detailed glass doors. The front parlour includes a decorative fireplace with built-ins and hidden HDMI/data wiring, while the sunroom brings in plenty of light. The primary offers a walk-in closet with automatic lighting and a 4-pc ensuite with original tile, while two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed bathroom. Transformed servant's quarters offer its own staircase, separate bedroom, and 3-pc bath. A partially finished basement includes a Dolby-equipped theatre, storage, and access to the oversized garage. A home of this calibre doesn't just make an impression; it makes history, and it's ready for its next discerning owner to continue the story.
