Gold Rush Pair Extraordinaire priced at only $240/sq.ft.! Delightful 2,885 sq.ft. Victorian Inn PLUS dramatic, 4-story, 3,974 sq. ft. Owners' Quarters & 2,080 sq.ft. garage to accommodate six owners' cars!
Located on a prime .53 acre corner lot centrally situated within historic Grass Valley, the early Gold Rush town where the world-famous Empire Mine produced for over a century the richest California ore, sits this delightfully elegant Victorian Inn ALONG WITH its HUGE and ultra-dramatic, "separate owners' quarters," -- a vintage 4-story Barn now converted to a most unique, contemporary loft-style home with CUSTOM ELEVATOR and over-sized, 2,080 square foot garage.
Decidedly an unusual and rare opportunity, this in-town, gated compound with two separate vintage structures separated by an inviting MERMAID POOL/SPA will appeal to an aspiring innkeeper who longs for larger than the far-too-often “cubby hole” owners' quarters normally associated with most inns. This exceptional offering poses a sharp contrast with its 2,885 square foot California Gold Country Period Inn AND separate "owners' quarters" FAR LARGER than the entire Inn itself! In this case, a 4-story Barn, with 3,974 square foot of gross living space, represents the surprisingly spacious "owners' quarters!"
GRASS VALLEY
An important and popular California tourist destination, Grass Valley boasts a colorful past intricately woven with the history of its own famed Empire Mine, one of the Golden State's first -- and eventually the largest and most productive -- hard-rock gold mining operations in the West. With the discovery in 1850 of gold flecks in a local outcropping of quartz, Grass Valley was born!
Today's Grass Valley, at an elevation of 2,500 feet nestled within the four-season Sierra foothills just two hours from the San Francisco Bay Area, reflects a progressive community where live theatre and the arts thrive along with a growing high-tech electronics industry.
THE INN (2,885 SQUARE FEET)
This charming, ca. 1861, two-story, historic B&B, surrounded by towering redwoods, fragrant lilacs, blooming azaleas, rich rhododendron and even wild onions, handsomely dominates a spacious corner, in-town lot and provides guests with a true Victorian wrap-around porch, generous off-street parking, a delightfully refreshing, mermaid-tiled pool/spa and countless relaxing outdoor patios.
The Inn's first floor interior includes an elegant, formal parlor, rich Arts and Crafts dining room, open country kitchen with breakfast area, one full suite with two separate bedrooms and private bath and another guest room with its own en suite bath.
The Inn's second floor offers two distinct guest quarters, each also with its own private bath. The larger of these is often used as a "wedding suite!" The Inn Reception Office is also located toward the rear of this second floor, conveniently adjacent to the Inn's guest parking. Within the property's secure, gated compound are five marked, outdoor guest parking places.
In 2006, the Inn was selected to be included in the prestigious "DESIGNS FOR LIVING Home Tour," an annual benefit organized to support the ever-popular "Music in the Mountains."
OWNERS' QUARTERS (3,974 SQUARE FEET OF GROSS LIVING SPACE PLUS A 2,060 SQUARE FOOT OVER-SIZED GARAGE ACCOMMODATING AT LEAST SIX VEHICLES)
The 4-story Barn, now converted to an awe-inspiring, loft-style residence, is truly a one-of-a-kind, commanding contemporary art statement that includes vintage stained-glass windows, an oil baron's front door, custom elevator with back-up generator, dramatic skylights, romantic gas-fireplaces, spiral staircase, fabulously high-in-the-sky catwalk and sleekly polished, original barn wood floors and striking "industrial" architectural accents. Baths are elegantly finished with Kohler and other high-end appointments and include a bidet in Master but also a Victorian claw foot tub; the handsome kitchen sports unusual counter top finishes incorporating original barn wood, solid granite sink and a custom ventilation system to accommodate the "serious" Wolf gas stove/cook top.
Massive "great room" spaces complement contemporary industrial loft-styling with exposed piping and a variety of fans and lighting positioned high along towering vaulted ceilings. Windows are practical, double hung, dual panes that provide ease of cleaning. Two of the Barn's five "bedrooms" serve as offices that share a gas fireplace and half bath and are accessed by a separate entry from School Street.
The floor plan of the Barn garage suggests room for a total of six vehicles; this does not include the side carport. Along with the elevator, there is a handy half bath on the garage level, a mud room and a staircase that leads directly up to the second story Great Room.
In 2002, the contemporary Barn/Loft was a featured home participating in the annual "Music in the Mountains" Benefit Tour.
The entire .53 acre compound, that includes the Inn, the Barn and the glorious mermaid pool, is accessed toward the rear side of the parcel via an automatic-sensor, electric gate.
