Just beyond the storybook streets of Nevada City stands a home that feels timeless! Built in 1946 by a Swedish stone mason, the residence carries a quiet kind of artistry you can't recreate. Every curve, every texture, every detail feels intentional and quite magical. It's the kind of property that makes you slow down without realizing it. A white picket fence and arbor welcome you in like the opening scene of a novel. Inside, the charm unfolds effortlessly three bedrooms, two full baths, and two half baths in the main home, along with a fully finished basement with private exterior access. There's a mudroom ready for boots and baskets, and throughout the home, one-of-a-kind light fixtures add personality in all the right places. The sunroom is a scene stealer lined with windows and anchored by double French doors that open to the grounds, blurring the line between indoors and out. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with granite countertops, offering a fresh, functional space that still honors the home's original soul. Step outside and the property truly begins to tell its story. Tiered, fenced, and spread across 2.77 acres with an additional included 0.20-acre parcel the grounds feel like a private garden estate. There's a perfect barbecue spot, a permanent cement dining table ready for long, lingering meals, and a lower patio so lush and beautifully arranged it feels like it was designed for celebrations. (It wouldn't take much to imagine it hosting a wedding.) A two-car garage is complemented by a permitted studio or hobby space above, complete with its own full bath perfect for guests, creative pursuits, or quiet retreat. All of this, just minutes from town, yet comfortably set up with NID water offering both convenience and a sense of retreat. Enjoy a prime location less than a mile from historical downtown Nevada City, a 20-minute drive to the stunning South Yuba River, with skiing within an hour and nearby escapes to Rollins and Scotts Flat Lake. Some homes check boxes. This one tells a story!!
