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.
