Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and exceptionally well-maintained. While the interior finishes, such as the oak cabinetry and flooring, reflect the original 2005 construction style, the home features critical recent upgrades including a brand-new roof (2026) and a new HVAC system (2024). The kitchen and bathrooms are clean and functional, and the overall maintenance level offsets the age of the cosmetic features.
The property features a brand-new roof installed in January 2026 and a new HVAC system from December 2024, significantly reducing immediate maintenance costs and increasing long-term value.
Situated minutes from CSU Chico, Downtown, and local schools, the home offers a proven rental history and high demand for both long-term tenants and residents.
The 1,866 sq. ft. floor plan is thoughtfully designed with two separate living areas and a primary suite isolated from the other three bedrooms, providing excellent privacy and flow.
The 5,663 sq. ft. lot is functional and low-maintenance but may feel restrictive for buyers seeking a large backyard for gardening, play, or extensive entertaining.
Proximity to the university and high school, while a benefit for rental demand, may result in increased neighborhood traffic and noise levels during peak school hours.
