Please keep your dogs on leash when out front or out walking. The front yard is not fenced in. The back and side patios are fully fenced in and suitable for dogs. If your dog is an escape artist (like my Husky mix), then there are a couple of places where they can escape by jumping up on a wall or by getting on the roof of the garage (Yes. A Husky will do such a thing). There is a fountain out front that operates seasonally (it is drained in the winter months).. There is a bit of road noise that comes from Highway 49. It is only noticeable when outside and is more prominent during busy commute times. This is the case with all properties in the downtown Grass Valley area. If you want complete silence, then it might be better to stay further outside of town. The streets around the house are very narrow and the turns are tight. Full size pickups do fit, but RV's or trailers may not make it around some turns and may not be able to navigate to the driveway as a result.
