3 Beds | 2 Full Baths | 1,543 SqFt | 0.2 Acres

Own a piece of history only a short walk to historic downtown Grass Valley. This beautiful three-bedroom, two-bathroom, multi-zoned Victorian-Craftsman style home has been updated while still retaining its vintage charm. This Hallmark-movie style home is situated right in the heart of the business sphere and sits on a park-like quarter acre lot. The detached one-car garage has its own additional storage area for bikes, snow and watersports gear. There are also two additional parking spaces on the property. This home features a new roof, modern HVAC system and updated plumbing and electrical. The large new garden shed in the backyard offers many possible uses, such as an artists studio, or a man cave. Leave your car in the garage and walk to downtown restaurants, breweries or coffee shops. Or sit on the front porch and enjoy the city energy. If you prefer, sit in the quiet back patio and watch the sunset behind the surrounding pine trees of the town. When the holidays roll around, walking to Cornish Christmas takes you into a scene straight off of a postcard. Whether this becomes your full-time home (live/work), a vacation rental or other business endeavor, 490 E Main offers something increasingly rare: lots of space, real character and the opportunity to live in a historic gold rush town. Will you be the 4th owner of this stunning property?
