Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1953, the home features a significantly dated kitchen with older oak cabinetry and tile countertops likely exceeding 25 years in age. While the property benefits from a 'lifetime' roof and dual-pane windows, the cracked driveway, covered pool, and interior finishes indicate a need for modernization and minor repairs to meet current market standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 13504, living area = 2245.
The property features a versatile studio unit with a private entrance, kitchenette, and dedicated climate control, offering a turnkey opportunity for rental income or multi-generational living.
Situated on a generous 0.31-acre lot just a short distance from Bidwell Park, the home occupies a highly desirable Chico neighborhood known for its proximity to outdoor recreation.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 5.
With 236 days on the market and four consecutive price reductions, the property has struggled to gain traction, which may lead to buyer concerns regarding its initial valuation or underlying demand.
Built in 1953, the home may require updates to older systems, and the gunite pool is currently covered, potentially necessitating significant inspection or refurbishment costs to return it to service.
