Looking for a new Lover for this grande dame of a Victorian, built in 1878, and located on 1.4 acres in the heart of Yuba City. The stately mansion has been owned by only a few families over the years and has been loved and treasured by each one. Lumber for the home, built in the Italianate manner, was hand-picked for James Gray, the original owner, by the Cheim Lumber Company. Its construction cost was $9,000, and it was built without the use of any modern power tools. The home features large rooms with twelve-foot ceilings, original wood floors, and gorgeous bay windows. The present owners added a large, screened porch, with built-in bar-b-que, which opens to the pool area. Family and friends gathered for many a fun filled evening, either around the 15-foot dining table, in song by the grand piano in the parlor, or with a quick game of ball on the spacious grounds. The present owners have loved and appreciated this home for 47 years-it's time to give someone else a turn.
