Not often we would lead off with a photo of the back of a home - and not because of any deficiency in the front, a fine partly -brick facade. But here’s the view from this 60 ft deck:
Besides the location, this home of over 3,000 sq ft on two levels was built to high standards and has all the bells and whistles for comfortable living.
On the main floor a cathedral ceiling looks down on a formal dining area and spacious living room with propane fireplace. A well-appointed kitchen has a lovely breakfast nook looking out over the deck. The main bedroom has an ensuite bath and walk-in closet, and patio doors opening onto the deck (in total there are four sets of these doors to the deck). Two more bedrooms share another bathroom. A laundry room opens into the double garage, a nice feature.
The lower level is made for entertainment: a huge family room has a (second) propane fireplace, and a wet bar with two fridges. There is another bathroom, an office and two all-purpose rooms. The furnace room is large enough to also house a workshop. There is a charming walkout to the view-side of the property.
An important feature of the property is the deeded agreement for no development on the large meadow fronting the view. Owners on the street joined forces (and serious money) to purchase the meadow and prevent anyone from building there.
The house has a handsome part-brick facade and the driveway and parking areas in front of the double garage are paved.
Some other details:

Location
The property looks over the ocean, the town, and the beach and golf course. It’s a short walk into town, or a minute or two to drive. Not really much more to say - all the amenities of Inverness are at hand. For exploring the west coast of Cape Breton, Inverness is an ideal location to go north to the Margarees and Cheticamp and the national park, or south to Mabou and Port Hood. Or inland to Whycocomagh and the Bras d’Or lakes.
