Tucked away on a private street in Sydney Forks, this custom-built one-level home sits on a landscaped 2.6-acre lot and offers rural privacy, contemporary design, and high-end finishes. Only 12 years old, the home has excellent curb appeal with a paved driveway, plenty of parking, an attached garage, and a walkway leading to the front porch. Inside, a spacious foyer offers room to enter comfortably, complete with storage and a coat closet. From there, the home opens into a bright open-concept living area with vaulted ceilings, natural light, and a striking stone propane fireplace. The kitchen is designed for everyday living and entertaining, featuring a large island with seating, custom wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry. The adjoining dining area is surrounded by windows and opens through patio doors to a covered backyard patio with an outdoor fireplace and barbecue area. From here, enjoy the fenced area with in-ground pool, set against a private backdrop. The primary suite is located off the dining nook and offers another bright space with vaulted ceilings. The ensuite is spacious and beautifully finished with a soaker tub, walk-in shower, double vanity, and plenty of natural light. The ensuite connects directly to an impressive walk-in closet with access to the laundry room, creating a layout that leads back to the main hallway. Two evenly sized bedrooms and the main bath, complete with a custom tiled walk-in shower, are located down the hall. A den/office near the living room and foyer is currently being used as a fourth bedroom, adding flexibility for guests, work-from-home space, or family needs. This low-maintenance home is loaded with upgrades, including heat pumps, a Generac generator, and efficient systems throughout. Located in a quiet rural setting less than 10 minutes to Sydney River and about 10 minutes to Cape Breton Regional Hospital, this property offers privacy, quality, and convenience in one impressive package.
