About This Home

Own a piece of California history at 203 Race Street, the home of the first steam engine automobile built in Nevada County. On Exhibit at the Nevada City Railroad Museum. This charming Grass Valley Victorian features a new roof and is perfectly situated within walking distance to downtown, blending historic character with an unbeatable in-town location. This property is a truly rare opportunity with potential for a land split and the possibility of adding two ADUs and another home (buyer to investigate). Whether you envision a legacy property, income-producing units, or a creative live/work compound, this address invites you to think beyond the ordinary. Dream big or go home. 203 Race Street is your chance to do both in the heart of Grass Valley.
