About This Home

As of July 2026

Mid-century 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom Hignell-built home on a corner lot in Chico, California, offering 1,747 square feet, updated throughout, and located near In Motion Fitness. The floor plan features hardwood flooring, plantation shutters, dual-pane windows, ceiling fans throughout, and a living room centered on a fireplace. The galley kitchen has been updated with quartz countertops, white cabinetry, an electric range, and a breakfast nook. A central dining area connects the kitchen and living room, providing flow for everyday meals and entertaining. The primary suite, converted from the original garage, includes dual closets and an en-suite bathroom with dual sinks. Three additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. One includes its own private en-suite bathroom, well-suited for in-laws, teens, or a long-term guest. Indoor laundry and interior storage round out the layout. The backyard offers room for outdoor dining, lawn games, and gardening, with a storage shed for tools and equipment. A long driveway provides off-street parking, and the corner lot adds separation from neighbors. Located within easy reach of Bidwell Park trails, In Motion Fitness, and north Chico shopping, with downtown Chico, Chico State, and the Saturday farmers market a short drive away. Don't miss this move-in ready mid-century Hignell home in one of Chico's established neighborhoods.
