On a coveted stretch of Jordan Street in downtown Nevada City, artistry, craftsmanship, and luxury converge in a residence designed as an in-town sanctuary. Soaring redwood-beamed ceilings bring volume and warmth, while radiant heated oak floors add everyday comfort underfoot. The home’s custom improvements—totaling more than $1.6 million—are matched by high-end appliances and a charming JADU that expands how the space can be lived in. Outside, breathtaking gardens create a sense of retreat without leaving the city behind. Practical refinements are equally considered, from copper gutters and a metal roof to Tesla charging. With direct access to the Tribulation Trail, days here can begin with a quiet walk into nature and end in a setting defined by timeless architectural details.
