Tucked behind a custom bamboo gate & embraced by lush gardens, this distinctive & enchanting Nevada City retreat invites you in with warmth & charm. A seamless blend of historic character & modern elegance, the home was thoughtfully expanded in 1992 yet still rests atop a dramatic boulder etched with Nisenan grinding stones and whispers of the land's deep past. Step inside to discover wide-planked pine floors flowing through a vaulted living and dining area, an inviting library, a country-style kitchen, and a serene primary suite with direct access to a private deck. A sunlit galleria lined with French doors leads to a secluded guest suite with its own bath, while a charming loft above provides the perfect hideaway for a bedroom or office. Outdoors, the landscape is a true perennial paradise. Rock garden beds burst with heritage roses, ferns, dogwoods, succulents, and an array of fruit trees including old-growth persimmon and fig, grapes, and more, each lovingly curated to create a haven of natural beauty. All this, just a two-minute stroll from the heart of downtown Nevada City. A rare opportunity to live in creative comfort surrounded by nature and history.
