Own a true piece of Baddeck history with this stately former Manse, originally constructed in 1902 for Knox Presbyterian Church. Prominently positioned on 0.4 acres along Main Street, yet set back with a sense of privacy, this remarkable property captures sweeping views of the Baddeck waterfront, Kidston Island and its iconic lighthouse. Built in an era where craftsmanship mattered, the home showcases tall ceilings, intricate architectural details and classic hardwood floors throughout much of the main level. Natural light pours through generous windows in every room, enhancing the warmth and character that define this residence. The main floor offers a functional and inviting layout featuring a spacious kitchen, formal dining room and large living room ideal for gatherings. A main-level bedroom and full bath provide flexibility for guests, home office use or one-level living convenience. Dual entrances from both the welcoming front deck and rear parking area add practicality for daily living or business use. Upstairs you’ll find three additional bedrooms, including a generously sized primary, along with a large four-piece bath. A staircase leads to the third floor, presenting exciting potential for additional living space, studio, office or future development. Zoned for both residential and commercial use, this high-visibility Main Street location opens the door to countless possibilities — from a distinguished private residence to professional offices, boutique accommodations, gallery space or other entrepreneurial ventures. Located in the heart of Baddeck — the gateway to the Cabot Trail — you’re steps from the marina, boardwalk, shops, dining, hospital, school and everyday amenities. Historic charm, panoramic views and flexible zoning combine to make this a rare and compelling opportunity in one of Cape Breton’s most sought-after waterfront villages.
