    Set in one of Chico’s most sought-after neighborhoods, STILSON CANYON, this exceptional creekside home offers a rare blend of privacy, space & natural beauty. 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. Recently built with modern craftsman style finishes, the ADU features its own propane service, separate electric meter, and shares the well with the main home. The main residence has been extensively updated & thoughtfully improved throughout. Designed for efficiency, the home is powered by a massive 25 kW solar system with approximately 60 panels, delivering little to no energy costs. 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!
