220 Colfax Avenue

There is a moment, somewhere between the rose-covered fence and the front door, where you stop thinking about square footage and start thinking about your life here. 220 Colfax Ave was built in 1890, and in the 135 years since, it has held generations of people who understood something that is harder and harder to find: that a truly great home does not just shelter you, it expands you. Set on nearly half an acre just steps from the soul of historic downtown Grass Valley, this three-story Queen Anne Victorian is that kind of home. The ground floor wraps around you the way a home should, with a generous primary suite, a kitchen that invites long mornings and longer evenings, and formal living and dining rooms where the original Victorian craftsmanship is still very much present and very much alive. The second floor offers four beautifully private suites, each with its own bath and kitchenette, thoughtfully designed for the way families actually live today. Multigenerational. Spacious. Unhurried. The third floor adds one final room, quiet and full of possibility, waiting to take the shape of whatever you need most. Before close, the seller will open the interior staircase and connect all three floors into one remarkable single-family residence. Six bedrooms and six en-suite baths, in a home that feels as warm and livable as it is impressive. And for those who want their home to work a little harder, the NC-Flex zoning, furnished turnkey condition, and established short-term rental history make that possible too. This is not a compromise property. It is not a someday property. It is the one you call about today. Reach out for a tour.
