Downtown Nevada City! This 1870 Motherlode-Style Home has been lovingly cared for, maintained, and added-on-to over its 150+ years of life. Despite being one of Nevada City's oldest homes, the home's floor plan is surprisingly flexible and appropriate for how we live today. The Kitchen is a delight and has been brought in to the 21st Century with a spacious center island and a Skylight above it, Kitchen Maid Cabinetry with soft-close drawers, Granite-look slab composite countertops, and stainless appliances. The Primary Bedroom Suite, the Living Room with woodstove, the Dining Room, a Family Area for movie-watching or office use, a stunning Red Bedroom, and Laundry with Half Bath are ALL found on the Main Floor of this vintage home. Upstairs, you will find 2 additional Bedrooms, a full Bathroom plus an open, flexible area for play, relaxing, or an artist's endeavors. Engineered Wood flooring runs throughout most of the home. Vintage moldings, high ceilings on the Main Floor and the sloped ceilings on the second floor harken back to the days of old. Creature comforts now include Dual Pane windows, Central Heat and Air, and a dedicated Laundry Room. Privacy and plenty of room for friends and family to gather are found on the spacious deck tucked alongside the Kitchen and Dining Areas. The Wrap-around Covered Front Porch overlooks the .43 Acre manicured Lot and a bit of town, too. There's plenty of room and sun to garden here and plenty of room to play. Croquet anyone? This delightful home is centrally located and just a few blocks to schools, the grocery store, trails and historical downtown Nevada City with its many eclectic shops, restaurants, and entertainment opportunities. Xfinity Internet.
