About This Home

As of June 2025

This sweet cottage-style home is just a couple of blocks from Bidwell Park, making it the perfect spot for anyone who loves easy access to nature. With two living rooms and an office, there's plenty of space to spread out and make it your own. The backyard feels like a private park – tons of room to relax, play, or entertain, plus there's a workshop, a garage for all your hobbies and a chicken coop. Inside, you'll find beautiful hardwood floors and a newly updated kitchen that makes cooking a breeze. The master suite is a quiet retreat, and the whole home has that perfect blend of old-school charm with the modern touches you’ll love. Plus, it's centrally located in Chico, so you're close to everything – shopping, dining, and of course, Bidwell Park. This home is all about comfort and convenience, with a warm, welcoming vibe you’ll love from the moment you walk in.
