Newly built in the desirable Riverside Drive subdivision of Sydney River, 18 Ethan Street is a brand-new, never-lived-in, custom-designed one-level home offering impressive space, modern finishes, and a highly functional layout. Located in a quiet community within walking distance of Sydney River and just five minutes from the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, this property combines convenience with a beautiful natural setting. Great curb appeal begins with the concrete driveway leading to an impressive 648 sq. ft. double garage, while a concrete walkway brings you to the covered front entry. Step inside to a practical mudroom with storage before entering the bright, open-concept main living area, highlighted by vaulted ceilings, gorgeous hardwood flooring, and plenty of natural light. The custom kitchen features modern vinyl tile flooring, dark cabinetry, contemporary finishes, and a spacious design flowing naturally into the dining and living areas. Patio doors open to the backyard, where mature trees provide a great backdrop with plenty of room to fence for children or pets, create a patio and entertaining area, or even plan for a future pool. Another standout feature is the massive family room, offering additional vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light—an incredible bonus in a slab-on-grade home. Use it as a playroom, media room, home gym, or explore its potential for an in-law suite. Down the hall are two well-sized bedrooms, a four-piece bath, and a combined laundry and utility area. Privately positioned at the front corner of the home, the spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet and ensuite with a walk-in shower. With ductless heat pumps throughout, an oversized garage, flexible living spaces, and everything brand new, this thoughtfully designed home is ready for its very first owners. Enjoy peaceful walks along the river’s edge, taking in the water views and natural beauty just steps from home!
