Situated on a lush & peaceful 1-acre corner lot backing directly to the creek, the setting feels like a private retreat while still being just minutes from town, Bidwell Park, schools, & shopping. A sparkling pool, multiple entertaining areas, chicken coop, tree house, fenced garden space, & tons of fruit trees! In addition to the impressive 3,370 sqft main residence, the property includes a new, beautifully designed, detached guest home/ADU offering 1,200 sqft w/2 beds & 2 baths, ideal for multigenerational living, guests, rental income, or a private retreat.

Inside, the freshly repainted interior feels warm, inviting, & move-in ready. The sunken front living room has soaring ceilings with a charming wood-burning fireplace, while the spacious dining area & kitchen with dining nook create the perfect layout. A cozy family room with a second fireplace, built-ins & beautiful views of backyard. The main level also features a dedicated office or fourth bedroom along with an updated full bathroom & half bath, plus a large playroom with built-ins, new carpet, mini-split system, & sliding doors to front. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a private deck overlooking the property, a beautifully redesigned custom closet with built-ins, & a bright, spacious bathroom. Two additional oversized bedrooms & a fully remodeled upstairs hall bathroom complete the upper level. Additional upgrades include: an electric HVAC heat pump system, new lower level HVAC unit, whole house fan, solar skylight, instant hot water system, & 400-foot-deep well. A detached 3-car garage with insulated wine room complete with its own dedicated cooling unit. The grounds are truly something special with tons of fruit trees, lush lawn areas, & full drip/sprinkler system. Rarely does a property combine this level of privacy, functionality, efficiency, and lifestyle in one of Chico’s most iconic and desirable locations!
