First Time on the Market — A Rare Opportunity on a Large Chico Parcel Here’s your chance to own a well-built home in one of Chico’s desirable areas, where properties are spaced out on larger parcels and the pace of life feels a little more relaxed. Offered for the first time ever, this home has been lovingly owned and cared for by the original owner/builder since the day it was built. Situated on a huge lot, the property offers room to breathe, room to garden, and room to create the outdoor space you’ve always wanted. The home itself was built with quality in mind, featuring 3/8-inch cedar board siding, a wood stove for cozy winter evenings, extra attic insulation, and a heat pump A/C system that keeps the home comfortable during Chico’s warm summers. The heating side of the system is currently not operating and is believed to need a valve repair. Practical infrastructure includes a private well with a 1.5 horsepower pump and a 1,200-gallon concrete septic system, 150 amp panel. Inside, the home reflects years of care and a thoughtful kitchen update by the original owner. In recent years, some maintenance items have been deferred, and the home is priced to reflect its as-is condition, presenting an excellent opportunity to improve and add value. If you’ve been looking
