Overview
Description
Welcome to 71 Duffel Drive, a well-maintained, one-owner bungalow located in a quiet, established neighbourhood just minutes from the Cape Breton Regional Hospital and the amenities of Sydney. The main level offers three bedrooms, one full bathroom, hardwood flooring and a spacious eat-in kitchen with plenty of room for everyday family living. The home has been carefully maintained over the years, with a roof replaced approximately one year ago and a new well installed within the past ten years. The lower level provides additional finished living space, including a family room and recreation area with a heat pump, along with the laundry area. The full poured-concrete foundation and higher basement windows may provide potential for a future bedroom, bathroom or additional living space, subject to the necessary permits and approvals. The former furnace has been removed, although the existing forced-air ductwork remains in place. Outside, the property features a beautiful backyard backing onto a treed area, creating a private and peaceful setting. An oversized storage shed offers substantial space and may also present an opportunity for a future buyer to explore replacing it with a detached garage, subject to municipal requirements. With its solid construction, practical layout, private backyard and convenient location, 71 Duffel Drive offers an excellent opportunity for buyers looking for a comfortable home with room to grow.
