Property Description
Located just three blocks from Enloe Hospital & less than a mile from the museums, cafes, & shops of historic downtown Chico, this Chico Charmer beckons you to take a seat on the sweeping front porch & admire the stunning Japanese maple. Step through the door of this lovingly updated 1930s cottage & you will find yourself in a spacious living room with original coved ceilings & updated wide plank hardwood floors. The room flows seamlessly into a dining area & kitchen with natural light pouring in. From the crown moldings & blown glass light fixture to the European style vent hood, the kitchen has been tastefully updated while maintaining the vintage charm of yesteryear. Abundant storage can be found in the laundry room, which leads you into the backyard. Step off the original brick stoop on to the patio, overflowing with flowering perennials, vines, and succulents. Here you will find a BBQ with a permanent gas line for all of your entertaining needs. Back inside, the living room & kitchen flow easily into a hallway that opens to both bedrooms & the charmingly updated bathroom. Each well-sized bedroom has a walk-in closet. As you enter the primary bedroom, you will be greeted by natural light pouring through 4 windows & 2 French doors that beckon you out onto the back deck. Step into the yard, where mature shrubs & trees, a lush green lawn, & a tangle of vines create a peaceful sanctuary with a touch of wild nature. Behind the detached garage (which could potentially be converted to an ADU; buyer to inquire with City), you will find two raised garden beds, planted with herbs, vegetables & wildflowers that attract beneficial pollinators to this sunny corner of the yard. The detached garage includes power, a workbench, storage cabinets, two storage lofts, & shelves. In the past three years, the seller has replaced the roof, upgraded the attic insulation, renovated the bathroom, addressed structural issues in & under the house, repaired all known pest & dry rot issues on the house, installed all new flooring (but preserved the historic tile work in the kitchen & laundry), installed all new light/fan fixtures, painted the entire interior & exterior, replaced several kitchen appliances, completed major tree work, & upgraded the sprinkler systems. The house is hooked up to city sewer, & has an upgraded electrical panel with plenty of room to add solar, HVAC, a car charger, or an ADU. This darling cottage is truly move-in ready?just bring your dreams!
