About this home
This is one of those homes you don't come across often. An iconic 1890 Victorian set on a rare .42-acre corner lot, just a 5-minute golden hour walk to the heart of downtown Nevada City. Thoughtfully remodeled by a well-respected architect, the home honors its original character while creating a sense of ease and livability throughout. You feel it immediately10-foot ceilings, natural light pouring in, and rooms that are not only beautiful, but truly enjoyable to live in. Two distinct parlors offer flexibility depending on the momentone more formal with views over town and a gas fireplace, the other more relaxed, anchored by a vintage gas stove and an incredible antique wet bar that feels as though it's always been part of the home. The dining room carries that same sense of history with inlaid tile, oak floors, and touches of stained glass throughout. The kitchen leans modern where it matters, featuring quartzite counters, a center island, dual ovens, and French doors that open to the patiocreating a natural flow for entertaining or everyday living. The layout offers flexibility with two potential primary suitesone on each level. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a true sanctuarywhere morning light moves through the bedroom and bath in a way that's hard to replicate and even harder to leave. With its own gas fireplace and a sense of quiet separation, it creates a calm, elevated retreat within the home. On the main level, a second suite provides a comfortable and convenient option for those seeking single-level living, guest accommodations, or multigenerational flexibility. Beyond the main living space, you'll find approximately 500+ square feet of beautifully finished additional areas, including a detached 350 sq ft guest-style quarters with its own kitchen and bath, connected by a charming catwalk, as well as a 250 sq ft wine cellar and lower-level space offering flexibility for storage, hobbies, or a private retreat. A two-car garage, hot tub, and expansive lotrare this close to downtowncomplete the property. Homes like this aren't just about square footagethey're about presence, history, and how a place feels the moment you step in. And this one delivers....
