13922 Auburn Rd, Grass Valley, CA, 95949

2.19 acres in the heart of Grass Valley offer an ideal setting for this 3BD/2.5BA home and 2BD/1BA guesthouse, where sweeping meadow views stun. On the market for the first time, Auburn Road's iconic, yellow Victorian has been lovingly cared for by the same family for 23+ years. Surrounded by towering trees, flowering gardens, and the cascading waterfalls of a natural design swimming pool, the property embraces the serenity of a rural retreat yet is only minutes from downtown. Upon entering the 3BD/2.5BA main house, you are greeted by two-story cathedral ceilings, expansive windows, and an open floor plan allowing for all-day natural light. Rooms gracefully flow from one to the next, making for an entertainer's dream. The main living spaces on the first floor feel spacious, bright, and welcoming. A formal living room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a stone fireplace offers panoramic countryside views. The adjacent sun-soaked kitchen features granite countertops, dual ovens, an electric cooktop, a pantry, and an island with drop-leaf seating. These spaces are complimented by oversized French doors that lead to a deck with an al-fresco dining nook and retractable electric awning. The formal dining room further embraces indoor/outdoor living with a door and windows adjoining the wrap-around porch and its spacious sitting area. A custom-built display case beneath the stairs (imagine a wine cellar at the tip of your fingers), a den, an office area, and a half-bath allow for flexibility of space. The primary en-suite bedroom completes the first floor, boasting a walk-in closet, a deep soaking tub, and additional French doors to the back deck. A custom-built spiral staircase with oak spindles takes you to a bird's-eye view of the home, where two additional bedrooms and a full bath reside on the second floor. The west bedroom continues to offer expansive views, a balcony, and a wall-length closet with sliding mirror doors. The east bedroom enjoys heightened ceilings and a half-moon window with sunrise views. Across the driveway from the main house, the guest house provides its own oasis. Built in 2019, this 2BD/1BA home features tall, cape-cod style beamed ceilings, complimenting light features, and luxury vinyl flooring. The open-concept kitchen enjoys granite countertops, an electric cooktop, a built-in dual-zone wine fridge, slow-close drawers, and a breakfast bar. The dining area flows into the living room and onto an enclosed back deck overlooking the vast majority of the property. The primary bedroom offers a walk-in closet and private access to the shared bathroom. Offering privacy, a single-level entrance, and separate metering, the guesthouse is a perfect addition for guests or tenants alike. Four porches, two patios, and one balcony offer various vignettes to appreciate the grounds. Savor slow mornings on the wrap-around porch, sunny afternoons on the patio by the pool, evenings spent by the BBQ and dining terrace, and the night sky while soaking in the spa. Four waterfalls further enhance a stunning, natural design in-ground swimming pool and spa. Fiberoptics, a sun shelf, and a deep center allow for child and adult delight. Almost nightly, exquisite, vibrant colors illuminate the backyard as the sun sets directly over the far hill and can be enjoyed from the entire backside of the home. Mature landscaping, including 27 rose bushes and two well-manicured lawns, beautifully frame the front yard. Once used for livestock, the backyard is partially fenced with a 10x20 ft barn. Other features of both residences include: Milgard windows, recessed lighting, owned solar and propane tanks, individual septics, Hardy siding, Trex decks, and generator hookups. A 60 gal/min well with a 32 gal/min pump serves the property and a second wellhead w/o a pump was drilled in 2000 for livestock. A two-car garage with floor-to-ceiling cabinets and laundry allows plenty of storage, while a 1,800 sq ft driveway with room for an RV/boat provides ample parking. This charming estate offers flexibility, functionality, serenity, and the essence of being enveloped in nature while remaining moments from all Grass Valley has to offer.
