Some properties are simply a place to live. Others give you options. This charming 1890 Grass Valley property gives you both. Historic charm meets opportunity just moments from the heart of downtown Grass Valley. Built in 1890 and full of character, this distinctive property offers nearly 2,000 square feet of flexible living space with a long history of two-unit use. The main-level residence features three bedrooms and one bath, while the separate upstairs space offers its own private entrance, one bedroom, one bath, kitchen and living area creating an appealing setup for investors, multigenerational living, owner-occupants seeking supplemental income, or those simply wanting space and versatility. Set beneath mature trees with classic architecture, a charming picket fence and off-street parking, the property feels connected to the character of historic Grass Valley while being conveniently close to downtown dining, shopping and community life. Live in one space and rent the other, create a private guest retreat, or explore the property's future possibilities. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Grass Valley history with the kind of flexibility that can evolve right along with you. All flooring upstairs will need to be replaced and possibly some downstairs. This will need a little TLC - priced accordingly.
