Charming historic Nevada City residence on a rare, mostly flat, over half acre just moments from shops, dining and the famous Tribute Trail. This 1855 Ante-Bellum Colonial was built by William Morris Stewart, an early district attorney turned U.S. Senator known as the Silver Senator'' as a faithful replica of his wife's birthplace. He sold the home to Judge Niles Searls, who went on to become Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court tying this property to two of Nevada City's most prominent civic leaders. It's the only home of its type in not only California, but all of the western United States, offering unmatched historical significance and architectural appeal. The property includes a 3 bed / 1 bath main house, a connected 1 bed / 1 bath apartment, and a historic Truckee toll house cabin in the backyard. Lush fenced grounds offer room for gardens and creative use. As-Is sale.
