A brick family home on a corner lot, with a side lot, a level landing and room for up to four units.
The house sits on a bend of Kingsridge Road, so there is ground beside it as well as in front of it. That extra ground is what makes a conversion worth exploring.
It is an all-brick, two-storey home of about 2,395 sq ft with a double attached garage, in the Bayshore neighbourhood of Barrie.
Open ground beside the house. Public map data shows Kingsridge Road wrapping the property on two sides.
From the agent's site notes. To be measured on a survey.
A flat area that can take a detached unit, extra parking or a private outdoor space, subject to setbacks and servicing.

The basement runs the full footprint and was unfinished at the last listing, so it can be laid out as its own suite from a clean start.
The primary bedroom is almost 26 ft long and the eat-in kitchen is about 20 by 16 ft.
Natural gas, municipal water and sewers, forced-air heating and central air.
Described in the original listing as close to the lake, the highway and shopping.
The City of Barrie allows up to four residential units on a lot in its residential zones. That means the existing home plus up to three additional residential units.
Ontario's own minimum is three units, so Barrie goes one step further. The drawing below shows one way the house and lot could be used. It illustrates what to explore and is not a plan.
Illustrative exploded view. Not to scale. The final layout depends on zoning review, building code and an architect's plan.
Zoning comes first. The 2005 listing records the zoning only as residential. The exact zone and its standards for detached units (Barrie's zoning by-law, section 5.2.9 for most residential zones) must be confirmed on the City's interactive zoning map before any plan is made.
These are the measurements and features from the property's last MLS listing, in 2005.
That listing described the home as 6 to 15 years old, which places construction in the 1990s. Condition, renovations and measurements should be confirmed at a viewing.
