Indoor-outdoor living and easy access to Lower Bidwell Park come together at this unique Chico home. Located directly across from Parkview Elementary School and pedestrian access to the park, this property offers an ideal setting for anyone who enjoys walking, biking, gardening, or simply spending time outside. The entire yard has been thoughtfully designed with drought-tolerant, low-maintenance landscaping, creating a private garden-like atmosphere without the upkeep of a traditional lawn. A koi pond, a multitude of private sitting areas and countless rare plants add character to the outdoor space. A sliding metal gate provides convenient access for boat, trailer, or camper parking. The garage has been utilized as a flexible bonus living space that opens to the outdoors, creating a great extension of the home for entertaining, hobbies, or relaxing. Inside, stained concrete flooring adds a distinctive touch, complemented by an updated bathroom and a kitchen with a gas range. Automatic window blinds add convenience, while several major improvements have already been completed, including a new mini-split heating and air conditioning, newer roof and newer dual-pane windows. With its inviting outdoor spaces, low-maintenance landscaping, gated recreational vehicle parking, and close proximity to Lower Bidwell Park, this home offers a unique combination of character, functionality, and location.
