Move-In Ready Living with Walking Trails, Water Access & $0 Electric Bills
Welcome to this beautifully maintained, low-maintenance home in the highly desirable Yosemite Terrace neighborhood of California Park — offering the luxury lifestyle of nearby Merriam Park, without the premium price tag.
Designed for comfort, efficiency, and ease, this home features owned solar (the current owner hasn’t paid for electricity in over four years), a newer high-efficiency Lennox dual-zone HVAC system, newer water heater, updated lighting, new carpet, and soaring ceilings that fill the space with natural light. The cozy living room fireplace, upgraded recessed lighting, updated ceiling fans, along with the convenience of upstairs laundry, offers everyday practicality with a sophisticated ambiance.
Step outside and enjoy two private patios, perfect for morning coffee, evening downtime, or entertaining — all with virtually maintenance-free living.
California Park spans over 60 acres of resort-style amenities, including a private lake ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing, or fishing, plus miles of scenic walking and biking trails. Picnic areas, peaceful waterfront views and sightings of Geese, majestic migratory birds, water turtles, otters, and other wildlife, make it easy to unplug. — while still being only minutes from Costco, Merriam Park, downtown Chico, Bidwell Park, and Canyon Oaks Country Club.
Meticulously cared for and truly move-in ready, this home lets you settle in fast and start enjoying a relaxed, active lifestyle from day one.
