About This Home

As of April 2018

This stunning, Wildwood Estates home is beautifully positioned right on the edge of one of Chico's nature preserves. The setting is serene and private. Enjoy the striking views of upper Bidwell park from the vast easterly facing windows that run the entire length of the living room, dining area, and kitchen; it is to no surprise this home is abundant with natural light. The kitchen showcases granite counter tops, a large island, stainless steel appliances, and soft close custom cabinets. There is a generous sized guest bathroom with granite counter tops and dual vanity. The well appointed master bedroom features crown molding, a walk-in closet, a beautiful master bathroom with walk in shower and an extra deep soaking tub. The covered patio is the perfect spot to soak in the scenery and entertain guests. The backyard also has raised garden beds, complete with a garden sink. Built in 2016, owners worked with the builder to incorporate features that complimented a universal design. Some of these features include extra wide 36” interior doors and hallways, sustainable cork flooring throughout with porcelain tile in the bathrooms, whole house fan, and recessed LED lighting. Upon construction, the owners took an extra step to protect the relationship between the property and nature preserve area by constructing an engineered concrete retaining wall. In addition, there is an over-sized 2 car garage with an epoxy coated floor and upgraded insulated garage door.
