| When you enter through the front door, you arrive in the foyer/mudroom with a built in seat and a coat closet. The hall leads to an office/spare BR on the left, and a laundry/half bath on the right. |
The living area features beautiful ceilings with exposed gluelam beams and red pine decking carefully hand sanded and sealed with four coats of clear wood finish. |
|
|
| The kitchen is nearing completion, and these solid pine, site-built cabinets have real country charm. Tis area will be flooded with light from a column of windows above the farmhouse sink. |
The kitchen cupboards continue into the dining area, complete with a built-in window seat with storage drawers below. A door leads to a great spot for a deck! Opposite the window seat is this built-in sideboard flanked by a broom closet near the door and a large pantry. |

|
| Floor-to-ceiling windows and a handcrafted timber-frame outline a breathtaking view of the Bras d'Or Lake and the Cape Breton Highlands. This wall is constructed out of Structural Insulated Panels and Low E Argon Windows -- perhaps the most energy-efficient means to construct this design. |
The centrally-located woodstove and chimney are WETT certified and easily heat the main floor and upstairs. Principal heating will be provided by the in-floor radiant system. |

|
| Looking up from downstairs. Curved walls and lots of built-ins seem to reinforce the custom nature of this home. The owners have given a lot of thought to this unique and very beautiful home! |
The principle bedroom. The red pine floors are sanded and ready for finish! |

|
| The open ceiling in the second upstairs bedroom gives the room an expansive feel, and allows for good ventilation and interesting views. It has a large closet and two good-sized windows for light and ventilation. |
This is a photo of the bathroom upstairs. |

|
| The walk-out basement offers great potential for a workshop, rec room, suite, etc. Five Polytech windows, a man door and a french door (also Polytech) guarantee an abundance of light and air, and take away the 'basement' feel. |
This is a beautiful home ... on a lovely cozy waterfront lot ... about ten minutes to Village amenities! The owners even situated the house such that there is plenty of privacy on every side. ..... This one's a gem. |
