Description
Historic Charm Meets Modern Elegance on Almost an Acre Across from Big Chico Creek! This incredible property is steeped in history and character, sitting on nearly an acre of land that was once part of Bidwell Rancho and one of Annie Bidwell’s first subdivisions. Originally constructed in 1948 with adobe craftsmanship and expanded in 1971, this home underwent stunning updates in 2017-2018, seamlessly blending its historical roots with modern touches. Step into the living room, where two large picture windows frame the serene surroundings. The white boxed wood-beamed ceilings, white adobe block walls, and a breathtaking fireplace with custom Italian masonry create a space that’s both cozy and grand. The open-concept design flows into the kitchen, a chef’s dream featuring Brazilian quartzite Blue Roma countertops, custom Teak dovetail soft-close cabinetry, a Bluestar range, and striking Japanese Shou Sugi Ban wood paneling. And yes, there’s even a built-in pizza oven! The primary bedroom offers its own private fireplace, while the expansive back bedroom boasts tall ceilings, an en-suite bathroom, and private backyard access. The additional bathroom is equally luxurious, featuring marble finishes and a double-size walk-in shower. Outside, the magic continues with a native plant xeriscape garden, rich loamy soil, and a fully fenced yard perfect for gardening or animals. Enjoy a variety of fruit trees, an above-ground pool, and a spacious garage that could double as a woodworking studio. Additional highlights include Lowen doors and windows, tile flooring throughout, an on-demand water heater, a whole house fan, and a new roof installed in 2018. Practical updates like new septic leach fields (2012) and alley access add to the property’s appeal, including potential for an ADU or studio on the splitable lot. Even better, the property comes with an assumable mortgage at an incredible 3.125%! This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Chico’s history while enjoying the comforts of modern living.
