This Cape Cod–style estate blends timeless character with thoughtful updates. Spanning over 3,100 sq. ft., with 4-bedrooms plus Art Studio or 5th bedroom with separate entrance and 2.5-baths. This home has been re-imagined through the years to create an open and versatile floor plan. The original walls into the living and formal dining rooms were opened up and accented with graceful pillars, giving the main level a spacious, flowing design perfect for gatherings. A large family room was added for casual comfort, and upstairs you’ll find a private art studio with a balcony overlooking the lush grounds. The chef’s kitchen serves as the heart of the home with a large island for seating, double ovens, granite countertops, and abundant storage. Throughout the home, hardwood and tile flooring, recessed lighting, and elegant wainscoting add to the warm, inviting feel. The primary suite offers a cozy fireplace and generous space for a sitting area, while the bath includes granite counters for a polished touch. Outdoors, the property truly shines. The beautifully landscaped backyard features a sparkling in-ground pool, tranquil water feature, poolside gazebo, and a covered patio that seamlessly extends indoor living outdoors. A pool pump house with a changing room and storage, plus an updated pool pump, ensures easy entertaining.
Set on 1.2 acres, the property offers room to roam. Once home to horses, the back area is now a garden and play space, while the former barn and stalls have been converted into a 24x34 shop, perfect for projects, hobbies, or extra storage. Additional highlights include owned solar for efficiency and the rare opportunity to live in one of Chico’s most iconic neighborhoods where tradition, community, and holiday spirit make every season unforgettable.
