Escape to your own Nevada City retreat on 1.8 usable acres, tucked in the trees yet just minutes to town. This well‑loved 3 bedroom, 2 bath home offers great bones, a functional floorplan, and all the big‑ticket inspections already completed: septic, home and pest, so buyers can step in with confidence and focus on making it their own. A whole house generator adds peace of mind and keeps life running smoothly during seasonal outages. The main living area feels warm and inviting, with large windows that bring in natural light and frame the surrounding greenery. Most of the home is still in its original 1982 condition, so you're not paying a premium for someone else's upgrades. Instead, you get a clean slate to design the kitchen, flooring, and finishes to match your taste and lifestyle. The primary suite features an updated bathroom, giving you a comfortable, move‑in‑ready space while you plan any future cosmetic projects. One of the standout features is the second garage, currently outfitted as a true workshop with its own power, heat, toilet, and dedicated propane tank. It's an ideal setup for hobbyists, contractors, artists, or anyone who needs a separate space for tools, toys, and projects. There's ample parking and room for RVs, equipment, or additional storage, making the property as practical as it is charming. Outside, the 1.8 acres deliver that classic Nevada City vibe, trees, privacy, and room to breathe without feeling too remote. Room to garden, add animals, create outdoor living spaces, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet. With solid systems, completed reports, a whole house generator, and a versatile workshop, this property is perfect for buyers who see the upside, don't mind some cosmetic updating, and are looking for a home they can truly personalize and build equity in over time.
