Property Description
THE ULTIMATE English-style Storybook cottage, built by famed Orville Tracy! Known for decades by Chicoans as The Flower House for its colorful floral plantings, this charmer is now available for some lucky new owner. It has been featured in numerous newspaper articles as well as the book Classic Cottages by Douglas Keister. Dramatic roof line with double gables. The front door sports a colorful stained glass window and glass doorknob, leading into a sweet alcove entry. Bedrooms are spacious, as is the elegant living room (complete with Mansard ceiling, brick fireplace, gorgeous mantel and gleaming hardwood floors). Main bathroom has tiled tub surround, built-in vanity, antique toilet and honeycomb tiled flooring. Master bath has tiled counter w/vanity & tiled shower stall. Note the coved flooring and extra-large sink in the light-and-bright kitchen! Push-button cooktop controls add to the charm & character. The back yard features raised planter beds ready for your fall garden, and a garage with alley access plus additional parking space. All this, so close to shopping, downtown, farmer's market, and Bidwell Park!

Recorded sales in this period (0)
No recorded sales in this range. Select All available for older records; missing records do not mean the home never sold.
ZIP averages use publicly displayable closed sales from our licensed MLS feed, matched to the same ZIP and exact property type. Months with fewer than 3 sales are omitted; the current month is incomplete. Lines connect available monthly observations across gaps and do not represent measured prices in missing months. These averages are not adjusted for size, condition, or location within the ZIP, and are not an appraisal. Feed coverage may not include every sale. All available shows the available home and ZIP history, with mortgage rates over the same dates.
Mortgage benchmark: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. © Freddie Mac. Weekly national 30-year fixed rates, not APRs or a loan quote. Actual terms vary. Methodology changed in November 2022. The chart does not establish that interest-rate changes caused a home’s price changes.
Lines connect recorded asking and sale prices. They are visual guides, not estimates of the home’s value between those dates.
