This fantastic hilltop location with panoramic views of the Yuba River hills is only 15 minutes from downtown Grass Valley. Sitting on just over five acres, the home is surrounded by large parcels backing up to state property, giving it a very private feel but not too far from town. The 2/1 house is very original with 70's/80's decor--a great opportunity for the new owner to modernize & update to their liking. Inside you'll find an open floor plan with the living room/kitchen combo that includes a wet bar & dining space. Living room has Heatilator wood-burning fireplace with vent system & wood storage cabinets. Guest bedroom has a private balcony to relax & watch sunsets. Master bedroom has a private entrance to the rear of the house & opens to a laundry/powder room with dual sinks. The spacious main bathroom can be entered from the master or hallway & has a single sink & tub. A partial basement under west side of the house is set up for a workshop. The oversized garage has a single-car door but it was originally set up as a separate in-law unit. It has a separate entrance from the breezeway, 3/4 full bath (shower and toilet but no vanity), separate water heater & kitchenette. Lots of potential for office space, in-law/guest unit or enlarge the door to use as a two-car garage.
