About this House

Full of old school character and tucked away in the heart of Chico. This charming 3-bedroom home sits back from the street behind a decorative entrance gate, creating a sense of privacy while still being close to everything Chico has to offer. Inside, you’ll find a unique and inviting layout, including one bedroom with its own loft space, perfect for a reading nook, creative space, extra storage, or a fun hideaway. Outside, the good-sized lot offers plenty of room to enjoy and make your own, with mature shade and space to make the yard your own. Alley access leads to a detached 1-car garage with tons of additional storage, plus convenient boat or RV parking and potential to make it into an ADU. With city sewer, a spacious lot, great off-street parking options, and a central Chico location, this home has so much potential and personality. If you’ve been looking for something that feels a little different from the typical cookie-cutter home, this one is definitely worth a look.

    "15 minute drive at most to anywhere in Chico. Drivers are more laidback. However, traffic is at its highest around noon to 6. So you can expect 10 minutes extra in commute."
