Tucked into the sought-after Alta Sierra community on a flat, usable lot, this inviting home offers a peaceful setting, thoughtful updates, and space to enjoy both indoors and out. As you head up the driveway, you're welcomed by a shaded front yard and refreshed exterior with new cedar style siding, a new front door, and fresh paint. Inside, the home opens to a bright and airy living space filled with natural light from expansive windows that bring the outdoors in, fresh paint and hardwood floors. The kitchen is well-appointed with granite countertops, ample cherry cabinetry, and a comfortable dining area, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The primary suite provides a relaxing retreat with an ensuite bath and attached office space, perfect for working from home or creating a quiet flex area. The backyard is exceptional. Enjoy the two patios and a covered space for year-round dining and entertaining. The backyard is designed for year-round fun, featuring a lawn area with irrigation, spa, fire pit, bocce ball area, and low-voltage uplighting that enhances the setting in the evenings. Fencing on both sides adds to the privacy, while the circular crushed stone driveway and resealed surfaces add both function and curb appeal. A separate approx. 307 sq ft bonus room with mini split heating and air is currently being used as an office space. Additional improvements include updated electrical, plumbing, lighting, newer HVAC (approx. 7 years), and custom fireplace woodwork. Located just minutes from Alta Sierra Country Club and the golf course (with optional non-member pool access available) and a short drive to downtown Grass Valley, this home blends comfort, convenience, and lifestyle.
