About this House

There’s a lot to love here, but the backyard may just steal the show! Set on a generous quarter-acre lot not far from Bidwell Park, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath tri-level home offers the kind of indoor-outdoor living that makes Chico so special. Step inside to a welcoming fireside living room, where sliding doors open directly onto the covered deck and spa, overlooking the expansive, lush backyard. Just a half-level down, the generously sized kitchen features granite countertops, ample cabinetry and a breakfast bar, flowing into the dining area with another easy connection to the backyard—perfect for entertaining inside & out. This level also features a half bath, laundry area and access to the 2-car garage. Upstairs, you’ll find all three bedrooms and a second full bath, including a spacious primary suite with its own private bath featuring dual vanities and dual closets, plus a bonus area perfect for a secluded sitting area, home office or workout space. Outside, there’s room to spread out, garden, entertain and play, with raised garden beds, a large concrete patio, RV parking and plenty of open space to make your own. Add in desirable schools and a location that puts Bidwell Park just a quick walk, jog or bike ride away—and you have a home that makes it easy to enjoy the very best of Chico living.

    "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."
