In-town Nevada City! This 2 bedroom, circa 1900, vintage cottage exudes character and under-stated charm. It has been upgraded over the years, cared for tenderly, and loved much. You'll find it on upper Spring Street, a quiet neighborhood just a few blocks from the heart of historic, downtown Nevada City where shops, good food, music and theater beckon. The living room is spacious and light-filled. The eat-in kitchen is truly the heart of this home. Glass front cabinets, Quartz countertops, stainless appliances and a vintage gas stove create a delightful space to begin the day or gather with friends. A spacious, sunny, and private deck extends the living space. The deck overlooks the hillside yard and enjoys a local view across the ravine and to the woods. Stone steps lead to a seasonal stream and garden areas. Off street, covered parking for 2 cars in tandem. A small workshop area plus extra storage are beneath the house. Trails nearby. Comcast high-speed Internet. Home sweet home!
