Property is move-in ready.
While originally built in 1905, the home features a modern renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances (Bosch dishwasher), granite/butcher block counters, and an updated bathroom. The interior is move-in ready with refreshed flooring and paint, though the exterior siding and rear porch show some age-related wear typical of a 10-20 year maintenance cycle.
Situated in Chico’s highly sought-after Barber District, the property benefits from a charming, tree-lined neighborhood rich in local history and character.
The kitchen features high-quality updates including granite and butcher block countertops, a farmhouse sink, and stainless steel appliances, blending modern utility with classic style.
The property offers excellent outdoor utility with a covered carport, raised garden beds, and mature fruit trees, complemented by a classic, inviting front porch.
The single Jack and Jill bathroom serves both bedrooms, which may present privacy challenges and lacks a dedicated guest powder room.
With only 1,008 square feet of living space, the home’s footprint is relatively small, potentially limiting options for growing families or dedicated workspace needs.
Welcome to 1514 Salem Street, a truly charming gem nestled in one of Chico’s most sought-after neighborhoods in the heart of the beloved Barber District. Surrounded by picturesque tree-lined streets and homes rich with Chico’s history, character, and timeless appeal, this inviting property perfectly captures the warmth and charm that make this neighborhood so special. You are welcomed by an darling front porch that sets the tone for this character-filled home, including beautiful wainscoting, stunning flooring, custom bench seating, and abundant windows that fill the space with natural light.

Two charming bedrooms are connected by a Jack and Jill bathroom featuring an updated shower and beautifully refreshed vanity area.
