Discover this true Chico charmer, where timeless character, thoughtful improvements, and that one-of-a-kind Chico lifestyle blend seamlessly—all just moments from the famed Bidwell Park and downtown Chico. As you enter the home, you’ll find a layout that combines comfort, function, and charm. To the right, the family room opens to the kitchen, where fresh modern paint brightens the space while stunning mahogany wall panels preserve the home's mid-century character. The kitchen retains its classic appeal with custom Japanese ash cabinetry—adding soft, organic elegance and lasting function. The floors, once covered in layers of linoleum, were reimagined with retro-inspired Italian tile, carefully selected to complement the home’s original mid-century aesthetic. The living room opens to the dining room with newly refinished red oak floors, enhancing the warmth and character of the home. Expansive new picture windows showcase the lush backyard, inviting the outdoors in. Over time, the home has been thoughtfully expanded to enhance livability. Just off the kitchen, a guest bedroom with en-suite bath and laundry area creates a desirable split floor plan—ideal for visiting family or guests. The Primary was also extended to include a generous closet and private access to the backyard, offering a perfect blend of privacy and convenience. Step outside to experience your own private garden retreat. The beautifully manicured yard features mature landscaping, vibrant blooms, and two of Chico’s prized specimen trees—each adding unique shade, beauty, and a true sense of place. Surrounded by diverse plants and a variety of trees, the backyard also includes a chicken coop for fresh eggs. Whether you’re entertaining on the back patio or enjoying a quiet moment, this tranquil space is a true extension of the home. Additional improvements include all-new Milgard windows and sliders with noise mitigation technology, stylish lighting fixtures, and select electrical updates such as grounding outlets and replacing light switch plates and outlet covers—adding both safety and a fresh, cohesive look throughout. Don’t miss the opportunity to call this true Chico charmer home—offering comfort, character, and an exceptional location you’ll love coming home to.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
