Property Description

Set along the sandy shoreline of historic Gabarus, 104 Rouse Island Road offers year-round oceanfront living in picturesque MacGillivary's Cove. This stunning two-storey home now blends coastal charm with modern updates, including a new addition completed in 2020 that added the kitchen and primary bedroom. The original cottage was renovated, lifted, and set on a five-foot frost wall, preserving character. Wake to Atlantic sunrises, watch fishing and lobster boats travel through the harbour, and enjoy sandpipers along the beach just steps from your door. A waterfront deck spans the front of the home, perfect for coffee, gatherings, or ocean views. Stairs provide direct access to the sandy beach below, while a lawn, shed, and fenced area for pets add practicality. Inside, a mudroom with laundry leads into a bright main living area filled with natural light and water views. The living room offers oceanside character and flows into the eat-in kitchen with white cabinetry, storage, and room for family meals. A full four-piece bathroom with tub and shower completes the main level. Upstairs, two separate staircases create distinct sleeping areas. Off the kitchen, the primary suite features an ensuite bathroom, floor-to-ceiling windows, patio doors, and a balcony overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Connected through an adjoining room, the upper level continues with three additional bedrooms, ideal for family, guests, office space, or summer bunk rooms, with a second staircase leading back to the living room. Double patio doors from the living and dining areas open to the enclosed waterfront deck, adding peace of mind for children and pets. Heated with electric baseboards and supplemented by an efficient ductless heat pump, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom home is comfortable in every season. With ocean views from nearly every window, direct beach access, and a setting defined by salt air, sandy shoreline, and coastal beauty, this is Cape Breton waterfront living!
