Walking into this home is truly awe-inspiring! The soaring, vaulted wood-beamed ceiling, huge light-filled window-wall and prominent red brick chimney centerpiece evokes the feel of a Tahoe-style retreat, while being just minutes outside of Chico. With 3 bedrooms plus a large loft, all-seasons room, and 2 bathrooms this home has what you are looking for. The kitchen offers a farm style sink and faucet, 5 burner stove & stainless steel appliances. Laminate wood flooring and exposed ceiling beams flow throughout much of the home. Downstairs features 2 bedroom and one bathroom, while upstairs features a large bedroom, bathroom and open loft area, perfect for an office or additional living space. There’s also an all-seasons room with newer mini-split to heat and cool, that connects the home and the 2-car garage. This seller has spared no expense to re-grade and fence the large back yard to increase the usable areas, so now there is ample room for gardening, playing and relaxing. The fencing is even screened for added privacy. Other improvements this seller has made over the past 5 years include new heating and air (HVAC) system, several new appliances, updated plumbing, new fencing, seal-coated driveway and more! Other great property features include a whole house automatic generator, dog-run, low-maintenance yard, and paved driveway on a low-traffic, paved street just around the corner from the “downtown” center! This fabulous home is located in the charming community of Forest Ranch, just a 15-minute drive from Chico. With a fabulous charter school (K-8), post office, small grocery, restaurant (opening soon), active community center, two local churches, two fire stations (FR Volunteer and CDF Station 23) and several active community service organizations (if you want to get involved), Forest Ranch offers everything you could ask for in a small town, while being just minutes from all the amenities of Chico. Forest Ranch is also recognized as a Firewise USA Community which helps lower insurance costs. Enjoy cool summer breezes, views of the valley fog and a bit of snowfall in the winter! DID I MENTION - this property has a potentially assumable LOW interest-rate VA loan? We also have current pest, septic and roof inspections on file! Don’t miss out on the fabulous property!
