Welcome to 488 St. James Road, where luxury meets lifestyle on 4 acres of picturesque Cape Breton countryside. Completely rebuilt from the original structure with meticulous attention to detail, this exceptional property offers the perfect balance of modern comfort, refined craftsmanship, and peaceful rural living. Energy-efficient and thoughtfully designed, this home showcases beautiful custom wood finishings throughout, including magnificent wood-paneled ceilings, rustic exposed beams, and a cozy fireplace that adds warmth, character, and timeless appeal to the living space. Step inside to discover a beautifully designed interior featuring 3 spacious bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The primary retreat is an impressive oasis, while the main floor boasts a custom-crafted solid wood kitchen with an abundance of cabinetry and a dedicated built-in home office space. The bathrooms are beautifully finished with classic wood wainscoting, including one featuring a large soaker tub perfect for unwinding. The bright, inviting layout is filled with natural light, offering comfortable living spaces designed for both everyday relaxation and effortless entertaining. A generous lower-level provides the perfect additional space for gatherings, recreation, or a home gym. Outside, the property truly shines. A private pond creates a peaceful backdrop where you can enjoy nature right from your own backyard, while the heated 20' x 26' garage with a loft offers endless possibilities for storage, hobbies, or a workshop.
