Transport yourself to a Mediterranean-inspired retreat in Chico with this breathtaking estate, nestled on just under an acre and a half near Bidwell Park. This 4-bedroom, 3 full bath, and 2 half bath home is a true feast for the senses, showcasing exquisite finishes and sun-soaked spaces that invite both relaxation and effortless entertaining. Step into the Tuscan-inspired gourmet kitchen, where culinary dreams come to life. With a Wolf stove, expansive granite countertops, and a generous island, every detail is designed for functionality and style. Whether enjoying a casual meal in the breakfast nook, hosting in the formal dining room, or savoring your morning espresso in the fireside nook, each moment feels truly special. The living room is a sunlit sanctuary, anchored by a stunning stone fireplace and offering serene views of the sparkling pool just beyond—setting the stage for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The primary suite on the first floor provides a peaceful retreat, complete with dual vanities, walk-in closets, and direct access to a cozy den adorned with timeless built-in shelves and its own fireplace. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms, each with walk-in closets, ensure comfort and privacy for family or guests. Additionally, a bonus 13x22 room—currently used for storage—awaits your creative touch and could easily transform into a home office, studio, or playroom. Outside, lush landscaping envelops the sparkling pool and patio, creating a private oasis perfect for relaxation or entertaining. The estate is complete with a 3-car garage and a circular driveway, adding a sense of grandeur, while owned solar panels that adjust to capture the full spectrum of sunlight throughout the seasons offer energy efficiency with a touch of sophistication.
