Welcome home to a place where peaceful country living meets everyday convenience. Set on 2.27 level acres and bordered by an irrigation ditch with NID water available, this charming property offers the space, privacy, and sense of possibility that's increasingly hard to find. Pride of ownership shines throughout this bright and welcoming home that is move-in ready, with fresh interior and exterior paint, a 2021 roof, energy-efficient Milgard windows installed in March 2025, and a new water heater and whole-house fan added just last month. Inside, warm and inviting details include crown molding, wood laminate flooring, a gas range, and a movable granite-topped kitchen island perfect for everyday meals, gathering with friends, or simply enjoying life at home. Approximately one acre is perimeter fenced and ready for your animals, whether you're dreaming of a few beloved pets or creating your own little country homestead. And then there's the location. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end road, this private setting feels wonderfully removed from it all, yet downtown Grass Valley is only minutes away with its charming shops, dining, and everyday conveniences. Come experience the space, tranquility, and welcoming spirit of this special property. You may just find the place you've been waiting to call home.
