87 Owen Street, Barrie, ON L4M3H4

Welcome to LILAC VILLA, named and built in 1882 by renowned architect Thomas Kennedy. Charming home restored cosmetically and mechanically to today's standards and comforts. Extensive construction is underway beyond the privacy gate - a new 1,600 sqft 2-bedroom unit with 6 car garage, an ideal income property in the making (permits are in place, construction has begun). You will appreciate the size of this lot located in the heart of Barrie - even with the new build to be completed on this property there will still be plenty of functional outdoor space! The principle residence of this property, a two and a half storey detached Victorian home, is situated only steps away from key amenities. Striking details of the era have been preserved or carefully replicated throughout the many updates, upgrades and renovations - such as the warmth of the original wood staircase, original stained glass panels, also note the care and attention to the matching trim and newer replicated windows.
