Stunning contemporary remodel in Nevada City!!! Thoughtfully reimagined and beautifully crafted, this Banner Mountain retreat offers the perfect blend of modern comfort, natural materials, and convenient access to both Nevada City and Grass Valley. Situated on a very quiet and private-feeling acre less than 10 minutes from both downtowns, this extensively remodeled 2-bedroom, 2-bath home showcases quality workmanship and environmentally conscious, healthy and intentional design at every turn. The open-concept floor plan feels bright, welcoming and warm, highlighted by locally milled Doug Fir hardwood floors finished with zero-VOC wood oil, raised ceilings accented with locally sourced cedar planks, and abundant natural light throughout. The beautifully updated kitchen features Custom slow-close cabinetry, stainless steel Bosch appliances, butcher block countertops, and leathered black granite surfaces that create an inviting and refined aesthetic. The thoughtful details continue through the home with American Clay wall finishes in the bedrooms and hallway, lime plaster finishes in the bathrooms, and a cohesive design that reflects both craftsmanship and sustainability, incorporating natural and healthy materials throughout. One of the property's standout features is the expansive deck, nearly the size of the home itself, creating exceptional indoor-outdoor living space. Whether enjoying your morning coffee, entertaining guests, or unwinding at the end of the day, the deck overlooks beautiful views of the surrounding acre, offering a sense of privacy and connection to nature. Walking distance to the Cascade Canal Trail and other local loops, this location is ideal! Extensive improvements completed within the last five years include new Hardie board siding, Marvin windows, new doors with Emtek hardware roof, furnace, air conditioning system, water heater, and well pressure tank, providing peace of mind for years to come. Plus a newly built shed and plenty of room under the house offer so much space for storage. A rare opportunity to own a meticulously updated home in one of Nevada City's most desirable neighborhoods, where thoughtful design, quality materials, and a convenient lifestyle come together seamlessly.
