Delightful one story remodeled home located on a tranquil 2.5 acre parcel and just two miles to downtown Nevada City! Enter the private zen garden that leads into the generous open floor plan with lots of natural light. Engineered laminate floors, fully remodeled kitchen with beautiful cabinets and granite counters, stainless appliances and designer back splash. 3 bedrooms include a lovely master suite and bath. New carpet and great laminate floors. Back yard is professionally landscaped with deer resistant plants and waterfall. Two car garage, plus outbuildings on this all usable parcel is a wonderful and affordable home. Property is brushed/cleared into a parklike setting that's fenced and gated for pets and kids. This home is a gem and offers a slower pace of lifestyle, and yet is minutes to all the culture Nevada County has to offer!
