Welcome to this move-in ready single-story home set on a flat, beautifully landscaped low-maintenance 1-acre lot in a peaceful foothill setting. Offering 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this property blends comfort, functionality, and outdoor living, with two flagstone patio areas and three well-maintained decks. The inviting living room features a new Lopi wood stove and built-in entertainment center. The kitchen offers granite tile countertops and an impressive amount of cabinet and storage space throughout the home. Thoughtful custom touches include a window seat in the guest bedroom, a covered front entrance, and a spacious walk-in closet in the primary suite. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced property with a decorative metal gate at the driveway and a custom-built treehouse, adding a unique and playful retreat. Located less than 10 minutes from both Nevada City and Grass Valley, with easy access to Scotts Flat Lake and the Yuba River. Fire-hardening improvements, a hydrant in front of the home, and a nearby fire station offer added peace of mind. A perfect blend of foothill charm, space, and convenience.
