11790 Kathryn Ln, Nevada City, CA 95959

Looking for a fire safe rural home five minutes from Nevada City or Grass Valley? This architecturally refined traditional home has more than something for nearly everyone. Located at the end of a quiet cul de sac, among five other nice homes, it sits in the midst of 2.74 acres of pristinely groomed conifer forest. And inside you feel many qualities of a cozy lodge. As you approach the finely crafted front door, you pass a charming swing for two hanging from the covered porch. And once inside the warmth and beauty of hickory floors and descending stairs, with richly designed iron banisters. From the kitchen cabinetry to the family room ceiling to all of the interior doors to the window sills, the warmth of natural wood is everywhere. For the cook: A kitchen with a special cabinet for everything, including for the mixer, which pulls outward and up to the island counter, and a whole wall of pantry behind barn doors''. For the gardener and mechanic: Two two-car garages full of custom cabinets and work spaces, and upper level storage. For both: A one of a kind octagonal office for two, surrounded with custom details everywhere. For kids and dogs: A fenced back yard with swings and trees, also raised irrigated beds, and a custom fire pit with three cords of fire wood. For the skateboarder: A long sloping paved driveway that circles in front of the house. For the birds: Many feeders. For guests: A downstairs suite that can also be rented to vacationers. And for the aesthete: All of the beauty everywhere you look.
