About this home
A DARLING Cottage in the Woods! Meander down this Banner Mountain lane and you will find a totally charming, unique and artsy home that has been lovingly maintained. The sellers have not only replaced the plumbing, roof, windows, decks, flooring & paint but they also added 200+ sf with a garage conversion. The home is now approximately 1336 sf with 2 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths as well as added studio space with 1/2 bath that can be used as; large bedroom, teen/in-law quarters, rental space, art studio or whatever suits your needs! This home also has a dedicated Office/Laundry Room in addition to a spacious living room, and a wonderful light-filled dining room. Completely fenced providing wonderful privacy. Serenity prevails with low maintenance landscape and views of the forest beyond. Perhaps best of all, this quiet location provides a wonderful stroll to the Cascade Canal with its miles-long level walking trail and views overlooking Nevada City. Perfection...in so many ways!
