About This Home
Step into a piece of Nevada County history just across the street from Empire Mine State Historic Park, minutes to Downtown Grass Valley, and ample hiking trails nearby. Originally built as a foreman's cottage for the mine, this charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath home seamlessly blends historic character with thoughtful modern updates, creating a unique opportunity for homeowners, weekend retreats, or investment buyers. A second bathroom with a shower stall located in the garage provides added flexibility and convenience. Inside, you'll find a bright and inviting living room, a spacious kitchen highlighted by original vintage ship porthole windows. The covered patio creates the perfect space for relaxing or entertaining while overlooking the backyard. Recent upgrades include a new roof, solar system, privacy fencing with a cantilever electric gate, HVAC system, water heater, Andersen Renewal windows, insulated attic, new seal on the doors, and a new fireplace insert, offering comfort and peace of mind for years to come. Set on a generous lot, the property features a large front yard, ample parking, and an oversized garage. Enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful setting rich in local history, just three minutes from downtown Grass Valley's shops, restaurants, and year-round community events. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly special home in an exceptional location!
