About this home

Step into a classic Cape Breton home radiating quiet historic charm.

The surrounding Bras d'Or Lakes form a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve a natural draw for anyone with Cape Breton roots looking to bring a piece of home back into the family. A nearby marina, beach, playground, school bus service, shopping, and place of worship round out an easy, close-knit lifestyle.
