Built in 1910

The vibe in this 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1910 bungalow is distinctly charming, gorgeous, and full of light!

Walkability is a premium, being close to Enloe Hospital, Bidwell mansion and trails, CSU, Chico High School, and Old Town Chico with a multitude of eclectic restaurants, shopping, and Collier Hardware! This vintage home has been meticulously well maintained in and out to preserve the old-school vibe and blend of modern amenities including fresh exterior paint, a new tankless water heater, heating and air conditioning system with a programmable thermostat, and custom dining nook. Upon entering this extraordinary property, you will be greeted by rich (mostly original) fir wood floors, an abundance of natural light, dual pane windows with blinds and custom window treatments, a new indoor laundry area, and a beautiful kitchen surrounded with windows to watch the world go by and the seasons change. The back window/door affords a lovely view of a stupendous, flat backyard with room for a Bocce Ball or Volleyball court, or pool! Features include fire pit, a sunflower garden, a big lawn area, and a producing vegetable garden, all of which are irrigated with an automatic, remote water-wise system. Along with parking in the front, there is alley access with gated off-street parking in the back and room for an RV.
