If you've been dreaming of a foothill property with room to breathe, grow, and make your own, 3887 Northwood Dr deserves a serious look. Tucked in the lower Sierra just above the historic town of Murphys, this charming 2-bed, 2-bath home sits in a rare sweet spot - elevated enough for stunning views and four-season beauty, but mild enough to enjoy year-round. The back deck says it all. Forested hillsides, open sky, and golden sunsets that remind you exactly why you chose this corner of California. The grounds unfold from there: terraced garden beds, established plantings, a greenhouse already in place, an enclosed yard area perfect for pets, small animals, or a secured garden space, and open land ready for fruit trees or simply a place to exhale. Arrive via a circular gravel driveway and feel the privacy the moment you pull in. Inside, hardwood floors, a brick accent wall, and tongue-and-groove ceilings give the home a warm, characterful feel. The kitchen features an island and gas range, living and dining flow together naturally, and indoor laundry keeps daily life easy. Outside, a detached 2-car carport connects to a nearly 200 sq ft flex space - ready to become a workshop, art studio, storage, or creative retreat. Just minutes from Murphys' downtown wine tasting, boutique shopping, and dining, with the Highway 4 corridor as your gateway to Bear Valley skiing, hiking, rivers, and lakes. No HOA. Priced at $449,900 - this is the foothill property you've been waiting for.
