Tucked away at the quiet end of a dead-end street, this beautifully renovated 2.5-storey home offers the rare combination of character, privacy, and location. Set on a spacious, tree-filled lot, the property backs onto the Greenlink trail system and is just steps from Wentworth Park Brook, making it a haven for nature lovers and active families alike. You’re only minutes from Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Cape Breton University, the new NSCC campus, Wentworth park, and the vibrant downtown core, yet surrounded by peace, trees, and scenic walking trails. Inside, the home has been fully updated with care, blending original charm with modern comfort. Rich wood trim, hardwood floors, and vintage details give each room a warm, timeless feel. The main level features a bright, open kitchen and dining area, a cozy powder room off the side entry, and a formal living room complete with a pellet-insert fireplace framed by an elegant oak mantle. A separate family room or study, enclosed with original French doors, offers a quiet space to relax or work. Outdoor living is just as inviting, with a generous deck perfect for entertaining or unwinding amidst the natural landscape. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with double closets and walkout access to a covered 15' x 12' pergola balcony, perfect for enjoying morning coffee with valley views. The finished top floor adds flexibility with a fourth bedroom and bonus room ideal for an office, studio, or extra storage. On the lower level, a bright walkout in-law suite with its own entrance, bedroom, and full bath provides a great space for extended family or a potential rental opportunity. If you’re looking for a home that offers character, modern updates, and a prime location, 142 Shandwick Street is a must-see.
