The old yellow farmhouse was built in the 1820s and, over decades, fell into disrepair, becoming a sanctuary for wildlife rather than a home.
I saw potential in the farmhouse, which many viewed as a teardown, believing that renovating it was the most straightforward path to homeownership.
Growing up in Cape Breton, I faced little anxiety over buying a house, with the average price around $122,617 before the pandemic's housing surge.
During the pandemic, Cape Breton saw an influx of newcomers, shifting its housing landscape and allowing the farmhouse to symbolize hope and renewal.
