Pride of ownership shines throughout this immaculate five-bedroom home, lovingly maintained by the same owners for 38 years. Situated on a beautifully landscaped 9,000+ sq. ft. lot in the quiet community of Florence, this move-in-ready property offers updated living space, incredible flexibility, and exceptional value. The renovated eat-in kitchen features soft-close cabinetry, a custom range hood, and luxury vinyl plank flooring, which continues into the bright front living room with a cozy wood-burning fireplace and access to a charming partially covered veranda. The main level offers three bedrooms, including the primary, along with a beautifully updated four-piece bath with porcelain tile flooring. The newly finished lower level expands your living space with two additional bedrooms, a four-piece bath, family room, laundry area, former kitchen, and ample storage—ideal for extended family, guests, or future secondary suite potential (subject to required approvals). A detached 26' x 15' garage is currently set up as a recreation space, complete with a screened overhead door, dedicated rear storage for tools and lawn equipment, and a covered breezeway connecting to the home. The thoughtfully positioned home leaves plenty of usable front and backyard space for relaxing, gardening, or entertaining. Recent updates include an oil hot water furnace (approx. 4 years), oil tank (approx. 7 years), front deck, and windows and siding (approx. 6–8 years). Conveniently located just minutes from beaches, 10 minutes to Sydney Mines and North Sydney, and approximately 15 minutes to the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, this is a fantastic opportunity to own a meticulously maintained family home.
