Welcome to Grass Valley! Tucked away behind the Oakland Zoo, this lovely home sits in a peaceful, suburban-feeling pocket of Grass Valley — lovingly cared for by the same owner for more than 48 years. The main level offers a functional layout with a kitchen, four bedrooms, and two bathrooms, plus a living room with a wood-burning fireplace and dining area. The spacious family room opens to a deck, creating effortless indoor-outdoor flow for everyday living or entertaining. Hardwood floors lie waiting beneath the carpet, and the family room is finished with recessed lighting and built-in ceiling speakers. Downstairs, the lower level adds even more flexibility: a laundry alcove, a half bath, and a second large family room with direct garage access. A former side-yard entrance (currently closed off on the interior) offers the potential to reopen this space as a second entertainment area, guest retreat, or home office. This home offers great bones and an unbeatable setting — ready for your personal touch and updates (TLC needed)! Enjoy easy access to hiking trails, Anthony Chabot Regional Park, Lake Chabot Golf Course, nearby schools, and convenient commute options via freeway or public transit.
