Artisan home in a storybook setting with a year-round creek, cottage gardens, meandering brick pathways, rock walls, lawns, fruit trees, a firepit, and a koi pond, just 5 min. to shopping and 7 min. to downtown Grass Valley! Sellers are artists and avid gardeners who have spent over 30 years lovingly developing this property with outdoor living areas that make it feel much larger than 1.22 acres. The home shows pride of ownership, quality construction and attention to detail, with updates that pair artistry with functionality. Enjoy the light-filled, beautifully updated kitchen with Corian counters and a large pantry; sunset views from the dining and living areas; maple wood floors; a freestanding gas fireplace in the living room for cozy winter nights; updated baths; and custom cabinetry built by a Danish carpenter. Sellers recently installed Premium TuffCore 1/2 inch Laminate Flooring throughout the downstairs, where you'll find flex spaces including a large family/guest room, a guest bedroom/office nook, another living area with laundry, and a full bath. OUTBUILDINGS include a 10X20 artist studio; a 2-story building with an office and guest room upstairs and a workshop downstairs; a 2nd artist studio w/220V and a storage loft; and a picturesque stone storage building, once a greenhouse. Additional features include: a large, fenced garden; an RV canopy w/water and electric hookups; attached 1-car garage, and a strong well (60 GPM when drilled). Gigabit fiber internet available!
