Spanish contemporary, won the Builders' Association award for best contemporary when built. Lots of light. Detached garage is a double tandem (four cars), was originally a two car garage with a cabinet shop. Excessively heavy electrical service to support that workshop. Upgraded insulation and HVAC equipment. Large pool, built in 2001. Citrus, persimmon, apple, pomegranate trees. Room for garden, with water available around the 1.35 acre lot. RV parking adjacent the office, with direct dump to septic system. New well pump for irrigation, utility water for domestic use. The HVAC consists of York high efficiency gas package units, installed in 2001 and with a bit more capacity than required, so they don't short-cycle, but don't work too hard, either. The house can be kept comfortable regardless of the weather. Neighborhood Description This is a rural area, mixed use, on the outskirts of town. Immediate residential neighbors are typically long-term owners, with the Skyway development being about 50 years old. It's close to the University Farm, as well as to the Otterson Industrial park (light industrial - UPS and similar). Quiet, with the predominant noise being the railroad about half a mile away - it's well buffered by the extensive orchards that surroung the house and neighborhood. We've often been mistaken for being part of Durham, though that's a difficult mistake to make - we're on the south edge of Chico, about six miles from Durham. But we were able to send our children to Pleasant Valley High School, and could have sent them to Durham on an inter-district transfer, without problems. There's just no bus service to PVHS or DUHS from here.
