43 Mill Street

Prepare to fall in love with all the thoughtful touches you’ll find at this delightful turn of the century home on the outskirts of downtown Chico. Just over the charming Mill Street bridge sits this well-maintained beauty...the colorful drought-tolerant landscaping and the classic covered front porch will invite you in. The living room flows into the dining area and features wood floors, 10 ft ceilings, and a marvelous floor to ceiling built-in bookcase. You will find two bedrooms downstairs with wood floors, ceiling fans and ample storage, (one of them has a "Harry Potter” room behind a cleverly designed custom bookcase!) The kitchen has new vinyl flooring, a new stainless steel sink. There is plenty of room for a good size table in the eating area and a pantry in the nearby hall. The main bath has a deep soaking tub, and was remodeled down to the studs in 2019. The other bathroom (added in 2017) is a smartly designed half bath situated in the laundry room which features a stacking washer and gas dryer. Upstairs you will find a good size bedroom, a walk-in closet and an adorable bonus room - all with wood floors - the darling room at the back can serve many purposes: an office, nursery, sitting room, dressing room, or craft room. Out back you will find a custom built deck and hardscape patio with a decomposed granite courtyard - suitable for bocce practice and other activities - a dedicated garden area on drip irrigation, a hot tub, and unique salt-box style 10 X 12 shed with loft storage, a workbench and climbing wall - there are many potential uses for this outbuilding. You'll also find a bike parking structure, charming walkways, custom built gates, an herb garden, and mature trees - including a hearty mandarin. Bonus storage can be found in the generous crawlspace. Home has all dual pane windows, tankless water heater, ductless mini-splits, a new roof in 2022 and OWNED SOLAR.
