Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1996 (28 years old), the property is well-maintained but reflects its age with dated finishes. The kitchen utilizes granite tile countertops and knotty alder cabinetry, while the bathrooms feature older square tile counters and oak-style vanities. While the systems are bolstered by high-value upgrades like owned solar and a Generac generator, the core interior aesthetics require modernization to move beyond the 'Fair' designation.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 43996, living area = 1538.
The inclusion of owned solar panels and a whole-home Generac generator provides significant utility savings and ensures uninterrupted power during mountain weather events.
Being situated in a recognized Firewise community is a major asset in California, facilitating easier access to admitted homeowners insurance carriers and improved fire preparedness.
While functional, granite tile countertops are often viewed as a dated design choice compared to modern solid slab surfaces and require more intensive grout maintenance.
The expansive wraparound porch and large one-acre forested lot demand significant ongoing labor for wood preservation and defensible space vegetation management.
This beautifully appointed home offers the perfect blend of mountain charm and everyday comfort. From the moment you step inside, you'll be welcomed by rich hardwood floors, elegant slate tile, warm knotty alder cabinetry, granite tile countertops and soaring vaulted ceilings that give the home an open, airy feel. Designed for easy living, the home features owned solar and a whole-home Generac generator, so you stay powered and worry-free through any season. Forest Ranch is proud to be a recognized Firewise community, a safety and preparedness designation offering a valuable advantage for improved access to admitted homeowners insurance carriers. Whether you're sipping coffee on the huge wraparound porch, soaking in the sparkling hot tub with the pines as your backdrop, or making a quick run into Chico for dinner and shopping, this location truly gives you the best of both worlds. Mountain tranquility without sacrificing convenience — welcome home to Forest Ranch!
