A rare find in this neighborhood of Nevada City this nearly 2000 sq ft, 4-bedroom home offers space and convenience in a location that's hard to beat. Located in the 7 Hills District it is just a short walk to downtown dining, coffee shops, grocery stores, and schools. Sitting near the popular Tribute Trail, you are easily connected to scenic hikes along Deer Creek. The unusual positioning of the home below road level allows for a quieter and more private feel while enjoying your beautifully landscaped yard bursting with colors. The private back deck is ideal for outdoor dining or morning coffee, while the cozy firepit area invites you to gather with friends and family under the stars. This property blends the best of small-town living with easy access to everyday needs. Fire insurance is more manageable here, thanks to a hydrant across the street and two fire stations nearby. Don't miss this opportunity to own a comfortable, well-located home in one of California's most loved historic towns. You need to come walk through this one to experience its warmth and charm.
