Tucked away at the quiet end of a cul-de-sac, this beautifully renovated 2.5-storey home combines classic character with modern comfort. Set on a tree-filled lot backing onto the Greenlink Trail system, it offers a rare sense of privacy within minutes of downtown Sydney, Wentworth Park, Cape Breton Regional Hospital, the new NSCC campus, and Cape Breton University. Inside, timeless craftsmanship meets thoughtful updates. Hardwood floors, rich wood trim, and original French doors preserve the home’s charm, while recent renovations ensure a comfortable, move-in-ready space. The main level features a bright open kitchen and dining area, a cozy powder room, and a formal living room with a pellet-insert fireplace framed by an elegant oak mantle. A separate family room or home office provides extra flexibility for today’s lifestyle. Outdoor living is just as inviting. A generous deck overlooks mature trees, offering a perfect backdrop for morning coffee or evening gatherings. Upstairs, three bedrooms include a spacious primary suite with double closets and walkout access to a covered 15' x 12' pergola balcony. The finished third level adds even more versatility, ideal for storage. The walkout lower level offers a bright in-law or guest suite with its own entrance, full bath, and bedroom. It’s a great option for extended family or a rental opportunity. Currently tenant occupied with flexible occupancy options. New road construction on Shandwick and neighbouring streets will lead to a beautiful subdivision once again, very soon. If you’re looking for a home that balances warmth, privacy, and proximity to everything Sydney has to offer, 142 Shandwick Street delivers it beautifully.
