About This Home

As of July 2025

These homeowners went all-in with over $75,000 in thoughtful upgrades over the past four years—including a new Enphase solar system with battery, updated tile fireplace, brand-new stainless steel appliances, plush carpet, a remodeled primary suite, and much more.

Located in one of Chico’s most sought-after neighborhoods and just minutes from the shops, dining, and energy of Meriam Park, this home blends comfort, convenience, and modern touches in all the right ways.

Step inside and you’ll immediately notice the high ceilings, clean tile flooring, and new plantation shutters filtering natural light throughout the space. Fresh interior and exterior paint gives the home a crisp, modern feel, while the reimagined fireplace creates a cozy focal point in the living room.

The kitchen is built for both function and fun, offering freshly painted white cabinetry with pullouts and lazy susans, brand-new stainless steel appliances, a 5-burner gas range, new hardware, and a spacious breakfast bar that makes it easy to entertain or catch up over coffee. The open dining area adds to the home’s warm, connected layout.

Your private retreat awaits in the remodeled primary suite, featuring a spa-inspired bathroom with dual sinks, a walk-in shower, and a roomy walk-in closet.

Throughout the home, you’ll find recessed lighting, LED temperature-controlled lighting, remote-controlled ceiling fans, crown molding, new plumbing fixtures, and a reconfigured laundry room. Practical upgrades like a water softener system, new water heater with circulating pump, and new garage door opener add extra peace of mind.

Out back, the beautifully landscaped yard is perfect for relaxing or hosting, with an updated irrigation system, a clean patio space, and plenty of room to enjoy Chico’s sunny seasons.

With modern amenities, energy-efficient systems, and a prime location—you won’t want to miss this one.
