Experience peaceful foothill living in Grass Valley, CA where Gold Rush heritage, a lively historic downtown, and easy access to the Yuba River, regional trail systems, and Lake Tahoe shape a lifestyle that draws residents from near and far. Tucked beneath a canopy of mature pines on 1.9 private acres, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 1,802 ft home offers a rare balance of quiet country seclusion and convenient proximity to town, with a welcoming brick stair approach, thoughtfully landscaped and water-wise grounds, and generous stretches of low-maintenance native flora creating an inviting setting. Inside, warm hardwood floors, an open staircase, and abundant natural light welcome you while a custom rock fireplace anchors the main living space. A flexible layout is conducive gathering, working, and unwinding. A suite of long-term resilience upgrades includes owned solar, an 11kW propane Generac generator, 2026 water heater, and a 50-year roof installed in 2011. Fire safe improvements include Hardie Board siding, fire-resistant eave vent covers, and dual roof sprinkler systems are complemented by recent vegetation management and surrounding forest clearing completed under the Ponderosa Project (2026). Exceptional storage and utility space include built-in garage shelving, a cool sub-area, a 10x16 custom storage shed, and a 6x12 wood shed. A private foothill sanctuary where every detail has been dialed in for comfort, resilience, and peace of mind. From Gold Rush charm to modern self-sufficiency, this is Grass Valley living at its most complete: thoughtful design, enduring systems, and natural beauty in one rare offering. All that's left to do is arrive, and exhale.
