Description

Perched high above the Atlantic along Shore Road, this unique one-level home offers a front-row seat to the ever-changing coastal landscape of Cape Breton. Located midway between Sydney Mines and North Sydney, 675 Shore Road combines low-maintenance living with panoramic ocean views, rich local history, and a property unlike anything else on the market. Entering through the side door, you are welcomed into the open kitchen and dining area, creating a bright gathering space. The layout flows naturally into the spacious living room, where a large picture window frames the breathtaking water views and a door to the back deck overlooking Sydney Harbour. Whether it’s morning coffee watching fishing boats head out, spotting bald eagles soaring along the cliffs, or seeing the Newfoundland ferries and cruise ships pass through the harbour, there is always something to take in from this incredible vantage point. Off the living room sits the primary bedroom with convenient access to the main bathroom, which also connects back toward the side entrance and laundry area for practical one-level living. The home itself is designed for easy upkeep, making it an excellent year-round residence, downsizing opportunity, or coastal getaway. The property is separated into three PIDs, adding even more value and potential. One portion currently serves as parking and gardening space for the main home, while the larger parcel at 685 Shore Road contains the remains of an original World War II bunker once used to scout enemy battleships and approaching submarines during wartime. Perched dramatically above the ocean cliffs, the bunker site offers an incredibly rare and historic feature with endless possibilities for the next owner to appreciate and explore. Nature lovers will appreciate the abundance of wildlife surrounding the property, from seabirds and seals to bald eagles and even snowy owls nesting along the cliffside. A truly rare Cape Breton property where history and scenery connect.
