Stunning contemporary home offering privacy, scenic views, and a warm, inviting atmosphere just minutes from historic downtown Nevada City. From the moment you enter, the dramatic open floor plan, abundant natural light, soaring 20-foot open-beam ceilings, and expansive picture windows create a striking connection to the outdoors. The spacious living room opens directly to a large covered deck, creating an ideal setting for entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The well-designed kitchen features a center island, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and generous workspace. The spacious primary suite features 12-foot ceilings, a sitting area, walk-in closet, and private bath. Upstairs, an open loft overlooking the living room provides flexible space for a home office, reading area, or creative studio, while the guest bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings and distinctive architectural lines. The lower level offers exceptional flexibility, with two large rooms, a full bath, and space for a future kitchenette creating potential for a guest suite, home office, studio, or possible secondary living space. Built in 2019 with quality 2x6 construction, energy-efficient features, and excellent insulation, the home was thoughtfully designed for comfortable indoor-outdoor living. Recent improvements include a newly paved driveway, and architectural plans for an additional deck. The property also offers space for a pool or workshop. One of the property's most distinctive features is its location along the Nevada Irrigation District canal, offering access to a scenic trail that winds for miles through the surrounding landscape. With privacy, views, architectural character, and proximity to the shops, restaurants, and charm of downtown Nevada City, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of foothill living.
