Enjoy breathtaking Sierra Buttes views from the front porch and the North Yuba River right in your backyard at this beautifully renovated (and fully furnished), timeless home in the heart of Sierra City. This charming residence features a thoughtful layout with two bedrooms and a full bath on the main level, plus two additional bedrooms and a half bath upstairs, offering flexible living for guests or family. A classic sleeping porch enhances the home's historic character, while practical amenities include a partial basement for storage and gear, outdoor shower, oversized rock hearth with wood stove, propane heater, and durable laminate flooring. Outdoors, the property shines with a landscaped front yard and cement patio, custom rockwork, and an inviting backyard entertaining patio with a switchback path leading directly to the river, where a perfect swimming or fishing hole awaits just steps from your door. Ideally located in a flat, level neighborhood, just one block from the park and an easy walk to downtown Sierra City, this home offers the perfect blend of historic charm, natural beauty, and everyday convenience. Less than a 10 min drive to Lakes Basin Recreation Area and the PCT--world class mountain biking, paddleboarding, kayaking, hiking, backcountry skiing and fly fishing--your adventure awaits. This is a one of a kind property that doesn't come on market very often!
