Five minutes from downtown Grass Valley you will find this wonderful, private retreat. Tucked back off the road on 2 adjoining parcels totalling 9.5 level acres, a graceful mid-century ranch style home sprawls amid formal gardens, inviting patios and a backyard orchard. Features of the house include a formal living room with wide doors opening out to an expansive covered patio offering a gas fire pit and stunning sunset views. A richly wood lined den with a large stone fireplace is the perfect place to be on a wintery night. A formal dining room and large kitchen with breakfast room provide plenty of space for family meals and entertaining. An office and the primary bedroom both open out onto a private enclosed patio garden. Additional living space includes an attached home office/apartment with a separate entrance, complete with an expansive great room, a bedroom, full bath and kitchen. Use as an extension of the main house or close off as a separate apartment. Owned solar and an auto-on generator provide back up power to the entire house. There are two detached garage/workshops with plenty of space for vehicles and storage. A well on each parcel, and NID irrigation provide plenty of water to the home and gardens. Come see for yourself how great this place is.
