Hilltop charm, views, and major upgrades await at this Nevada County haven. Tucked away with end-of-road privacy in the heart of Penn Valley, below the snowline and just 15 minutes to Grass Valley, this move-in-ready home offers both convenience and quiet. Step inside to an open-concept great room with vaulted ceilings, newly installed expansive windows, and a remodeled kitchen with custom cabinetry, acacia wood butcher block counters, and warm trim throughout. The main level offers day-to-day living, with three bedrooms and two baths, including a primary suite with a new walk-in closet. The lower level includes two spacious rooms, a full bath, and a flex spaceideal for guests, extended living, or a junior ADU. Upgrades include a new well (2020), newer septic, sealed crawlspace with vapor barrier, EV charger, 5-year-old water heater, and owned 12kW solar with NEM 2.0. Outdoors you'll find a detached shop, oversized garage, ample parking, fenced garden, dog run with built-in door, wood-fired pizza oven, and a pond fed by NID irrigation water. A leveled pad is ready for a tiny home or ADU. Peaceful, private, and full of possibility.
