This exquisite property, a true gem nestled downtown near the park, carries an alluring history. Built in 1950 by the Enloe family, this historic home has been meticulously restored and updated in 2007.

The newer roof, windows, light fixtures, and plumbing fixtures bring a contemporary touch while preserving the home's historical charm.

High-quality insulation has been added to the walls and attic to ensure energy efficiency, and fresh interior paint gives the house a pristine, welcoming feel. Much of the original wood and tile flooring has been preserved, adding a touch of vintage elegance to the home.

    "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."
