Situated just minutes from award-winning schools like Marigold Elementary and Pleasant Valley High, as well as some of Chico’s most beloved outdoor spaces, including Lower and Upper Bidwell Park and Wildwood Park, properties like this with room to roam and the convenience of an in-town location are nearly impossible to find.

It’s a space that invites connection, whether you’re gathered around the table or simply soaking in the view. Downstairs also features a private master suite with a kitchenette, private garden, and separate entry, making it ideal for guests, a home office, or generating rental income. A half bath and laundry area are adjacent to the two-car covered carport with a security camera. Upstairs, you’ll find three more spacious bedrooms, each offering views of the lush, private property. The remodeled upstairs bathroom features granite countertops, tiled floors, updated lighting, and elegant finishes that tie the home together. Don't overlook the ADU opportunity in the back of the property. You may also consider splitting the back portion of the property with the City's permission! The gardens surrounding this home include 6 large raised beds, 18 fruit trees, berries, hops, grapes, and a multitude of roses, iris, and other plants and bulbs. The custom garden work bench, compost system, and efficient irrigation system make gardening a pleasure. There’s even a fenced spot for your RV to hook up in the shade.
