Property Description

This Chico property is one of those Classic Chico Charmers that buyers must wait for, they don't come up often. Sitting on the residential edge of Beautiful Bidwell Park, the location of this 3/4 acre lot wins "Best in Chico", as its just 1 block to the park, near shopping, post office, downtown and CSUC. Years ago the front porch was just a porch. It's been beautifully restyled into a portico, now covered and with pretty woodwork above the door and bricks and column below. Just inside the front door, an early 1900's alcove greets your guests, with the traditional coat closet nearby. The heart of the home is the pretty central living room, the corner windows let the morning light spill in. The solid oak floors shine on those cozy evenings in front of the fire, when the recessed lights are dimmed to enjoy the firelight. Grab a book off your bookcase and walk down the hall to your bedrooms and bath, you just may hear Frank Sinatra, humming softly. The dining room overlooks the fireplace and both the enclosed and the open sun porches. The very tasteful kitchen along the back of the house, has granite counters, modern appliances and lots of counter space. The cook can relax with peaceful views of the tranquil backyard. The game room downstairs offers indoor play space and lots of storage space. Your big yards can be spoiled by your own private well. That back yard looks so good - you just may want to run outside and play! This 3/4 of an acre, may have the option of a 2nd home.
