Located along the Cabot Trail in the welcoming Margaree area, this three-bedroom, one-bath home offers an affordable opportunity for a first-time buyer, someone looking to downsize, or an investor searching for a potential rental property. The location puts you within a short drive of groceries, the Dancing Goat Café, swimming holes and world-class fishing on the Margaree River, with plenty to enjoy throughout this active Cape Breton community. Several of the major upgrades have already been taken care of, including vinyl siding, a metal roof (2014), vinyl windows (2010) and a 200-amp electrical panel + wiring (2018), septic tank and field (2012), giving a new owner a great starting point. The home is well insulated, heated by electric baseboards, a wood stove new in 2025 & a heat pump installed in 2019. Enter through the large porch/mudroom, offering plenty of room for boots, coats and everyday storage, with access from here to both the basement and main living area. The kitchen includes space for a dining table and opens into a spacious living room with both a heat pump and wood stove for comfortable year-round living. Down the hall are three bedrooms, including a comfortably sized primary bedroom, along with the full bathroom. The basement is semi-finished and provides useful additional space for a workshop, rec room or dry storage. Outside, the property consists of two parcels totalling just over half an acre, with a small greenhouse and room for gardens or outdoor projects. The interior offers an opportunity for some cosmetic updating to make it your own, while still being move-in ready as it is. A comfortable home with the important improvements already in place, in a location that makes it easy to enjoy everything the Margaree area has to offer.
