Property Description

RARE OPPORTUNITY to own a beautiful 1929 historic Orville Tracy home secluded among Chico's famed "Storybook" homes. Step through the entry gate (beyond a 13' privacy hedge) into an enchanted secret garden and lose yourself in its lush setting. This home has it all! The owner has updated this true Chico Charmer to maintain its original vintage character, including gleaming hardwood floors, dual-paned windows, two walls of custom four-panel French doors and 40-year roof (in 2007). Insulation recently added to R-30. Check out the stamped "tin" ceiling in the main bathroom! The light-and-bright kitchen was beautifully remodeled to showcase the stunning reconditioned Merritt & O'Keefe range and features solid surface counters and integrated sink. There is 400 s.f. of separate additional laundry and climate-controlled storage, with washer/dryer & sink. Private outdoor living areas feature garden patios (perfect for sipping your morning coffee!), spa and hot-and-cold outdoor shower. Plenty of other storage areas (including a basement and enormous attic space with plans drawn for a lovely addition). Extra off-alley concrete parking area in the back with custom security gate. Coffee shops, restaurants, farmer's market and the magnificent Bidwell Park nearby. This home is in the heart of all of the wonderful things Chico has to offer!
