Just in time for summer, this Nevada City retreat offers privacy, space, and everyday livability in one of the area's most sought-after locations. Set on 2.15 private acres just minutes from downtown Nevada City. This property feels like a true escape. Perched on a gentle, south-facing hill, the home enjoys excellent natural light year-round. The land has been thoughtfully cleared, around the home, creating usable space while maintaining a peaceful setting. Spend evenings playing bocce ball on your own court, hosting friends and family on the expansive deck, or dining al fresco under the trees. Inside, the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen flow together easily. The main level includes one bedroom and a full bath, with two additional bedrooms and another full bath upstairs. City water, a fire hydrant nearby, paved access, a large storage shed, and RV carport add convenience. Close to downtown Nevada City and not far from Grass Valley, the Yuba River, and year-round recreation, this property is ideal as a full-time home or weekend escape.
