This home offers the charm and character of yesteryears with today's modern and beautiful upgrades to make this one of the prettiest homes that I have had the honor of listing. As you pull up to the front of the home you are welcomed by the gated front fence area and mature landscaping in the front yard, then step into this home and the WOW factor will impress you as you take it all in. The original hardwood floors that shine, open floor plan with the living room open to the beautiful kitchen with the tasteful upgrades, such as: Granite counter tops, newer cabinets, tile backsplash, soft close drawers recessed lighting, gas range with convection oven, washer and dryer closet (those are included), lazy Susan's, microwave, dishwasher and large picture window over the sink to look out over your back patio/yard area. The master bedroom is good size, with two large windows that look out to the patio, built in custom closet/cabinets with tile shower enclosure with rain shower head. The second bedroom offers its own bath as well, with beautiful tile surround in the tub/shower and tile flooring. The back yard has a sitting area off the home perfect place to sit and enjoy as well as another sitting area towards the back of the yard. The mature landscaping surrounds the yard. The detached 366 sq foot permitted conditioned office or art studio offers a large walk-in closet, own private bathroom with shower, cedar ceiling adds a special cozy feeling, and it has heat and air with a mini split and its very own small refrigerator. Attached to the art studio is the 2-car OVERSIZED (450 sq ft) garage that has cabinets, work bench, and shelving along with garage door opener. Extra touches to mention: the raised foundation, 2 on demand hot water heaters, skylight tube in the master bedroom for additional natural lighting, crown molding, dual pane windows, work sink in the garage, and lovely french doors from the kitchen to the backyard. Location is fabulous to be able to be close to Bidwell Mansion, downtown Chico and the famous tree lined street "The Esplanade"- It's a showstopper and certainly one of the prettiest!
