About the Property

Nestled on almost one acre of land in a serene countryside setting, this unique home provides a harmonious blend of Mediterranean and Victorian vibes. The Victorian touches are found throughout the home on fixtures such as the stunning custom made mantle, the doors and door knobs, stained glass windows, light fixtures and so much more. All the bedrooms are spacious with tons of closet space. The original bathroom, retaining its classic charm, contrasts with the larger Hollywood bathroom, where modern touches seamlessly merge with the vintage aesthetic. The kitchen is equipped with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and custom cabinetry. The adjacent formal dining room, accessible through a beautiful stained glass window-adorned door, provides an elegant space for entertaining guests. The living room boasts a grand, custom-made wood mantle and hearth, adding warmth and character. Large windows frame views of the lovely rural neighborhood but also allow light to stream in through dual pane windows. The fully finished basement adds to the living space and gives you many options, perhaps as an Airbnb or other uses. It features a separate kitchen, a generously sized living area, and an additional large bedroom. Tons of storage options are cleverly integrated throughout the home, including walk-in closets that were remarkably ahead of their time. The property also includes a self-contained one-bedroom, one-bathroom second home which was used as a rental in the past. This unit features a separate electric meter and a mini-split heating and air conditioning unit. Additionally, a second building on the property, with some renovations has the potential to become another one-bedroom, one-bathroom dwelling, expanding the possibilities for this unique property. Despite its countryside setting, the home is conveniently located within a 5-minute drive to Main St downtown. The potential uses for this unique piece of Chico history are endless!
