Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready, featuring pristine original hardwood floors and a modern Trex deck. However, as a 1965 build with mostly original kitchen cabinetry, older appliances, and dated bathroom fixtures, it fits the 'fair' criteria of being an aged home that is functional but shows signs of being stylistically outdated and lacking recent major renovations.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8712, living area = 1577.
Situated in the desirable north-east side of Chico, the property offers excellent proximity to Upper Bidwell Park and highly-rated Chico Unified schools, making it ideal for families and outdoor enthusiasts.
The home features pristine original hardwood floors, custom wood cabinetry, and built-in shelving, offering a warm, character-rich aesthetic that is difficult to replicate in newer constructions.
Having been held by the same owners for 60 years, the home may require updates to its 1960s-era systems and finishes to align with contemporary energy efficiency and style preferences.
The primary suite features a 3/4 bath rather than a full bathroom, which may be a consideration for buyers seeking more spacious or modern ensuite facilities.
