This enchanting 1920s fairytale home is unlike any other in Nevada County on the market or off. A rare surviving example of the whimsical California Storybook architectural style, this home rests among sprawling, lush grounds, canopied by rustling pines and sycamores, and cushioned against street noise by dense hedges and shrubbery. Here is a haven of peace, privacy, and stillness (despite being only a short walk from downtown Grass Valley). Beneath its softly coved ceilings, you will find a formal dining room that opens its French doors into a glass-walled, light-drenched breakfast room, while on its other side glows an equally luminous and cozy living room, windowed on three sides and overlooking the sweeping lawns. The home's invitingly radial floor plan flows into a series of gracious bedrooms, equipped with full cedar closets that offer ample storage, as well as original leaded glass windows (dressed in luxury window treatments from Decors Barbares and Madeline Castaing), and a primary bathroom clad in immaculately preserved, original tiles. The home boasts an original outdoor fireplace, an enormous standing basement, as well as an uncommonly large, window-lit and cross-ventilated attic, spanning the full footprint of the house, which offers, if desired, an opportunity to create a dreamy upstairs master suite. And of course, this magical property is made even more singular by its setting, among established English-cottage-style gardens, gently rolling lawns, towering conifers and flowering deciduous giants, dappled shade, and productive fruit trees. While its period details have been lovingly preserved and protected, this home has also been meticulously maintained, and seamlessly updated, over the years, whenever needed and without cutting any corners. Recent improvements include a top of the line HVAC and air purifier system, brand new top of the line 50-year roof, updated alarm system, and reverse osmosis water system at the kitchen sink. Children will delight in the newly constructed wooden swing set, or they can stroll five minutes along the sidewalk to enjoy the Dee Mautino park and playground. For those not inclined to walk to downtown Grass Valley, its charms and conveniences are a two-minute drive from home, while, in the other direction, groceries from Briar Patch are another five minute drive down the road.
