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 short golden-hour walk to the heart of downtown Nevada City. Remodeled by a well-respected architect who clearly understood the assignment, the home honors its original character while making everyday living feel easy and functional. You'll notice it right away with 10-foot ceilings, natural light, and rooms that feel good to be in, not just look good in photos. There are two separate parlors, each with its own fireplace, giving you options depending on the moment, one more formal with views over town, the other more relaxed with an incredible antique wet bar that feels like it's been part of the home forever. The dining room carries that same sense of history with inlaid tile and oak floors, and you'll find thoughtful details like stained glass throughout. The kitchen leans more modern where it should, with quartzite counters, a center island, dual ovens, and French doors that open out to the patio so everything flows naturally when you're hosting or just enjoying the space. The layout is flexible, with two primary suites one on each level plus additional bedrooms for guests or family. The upstairs primary has its own quiet presence, complete with an antique quarter-sawn fireplace. One of the more unique features is the catwalk leading to the detached 350 SQFT guest quarters, fully equipped with its own kitchen and bath ideal for extended stays, guests, or a separate work/live setup. You also have a 250 sqft wine cellar, a large basement for storage, hot tub, and a two-car garage, which is rare this close to downtown. Homes like this aren't just about square footage, they're about location, history, and how a place feels when you're in it. And this one delivers on all three.
