Open for exchange

Exchange dates	Duration
October 26, 2024 - October 26, 2026	4 weeks
We’re open to considering options at any time. We are semi-retired and can work remotely. For overseas travel, 2 weeks minimum please….or up to 3 months could also be possible (as long as we have good Internet to work remotely.) We’ve listed a few places of interest but we are totally open to offers…some of our best exchanges have been to locations we’d not considered previously.

Heritage Home close to the Lake

We are fortunate to live in a beautiful heritage home in the “Old Allandale” neighborhood of Barrie. Just an 800m walk to the south shore of Lake Simcoe, we are close to the beach, walking/cycling paths, and commuter train to Toronto.

Our home was built in 1890, and like us, the previous homeowners have made sure to maintain the heritage aspects of the house. The house sits on a half acre lot, backing on to the forested area of a huge park. The park has a playground for children, as well as sports fields and community gardens.

On the ground floor we have a kitchen, formal dining and living rooms, a den/lounge, a small bathroom, a big covered porch, and backyard patio. Upstairs, we have a large bedroom with a queen size bed, full bathroom, laundry room, as well as two offices with a double bed and single bed respectively. On the third floor, we have our secluded master suite with queen bed, spa-like bathroom, and walk-out deck in the treetops. (We also have an unfinished basement, used only for storage.)
