Some properties are hard to categorize. This is one of them. Tucked into the coveted Paseo Companeros neighborhood, this fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is a rare combination of thoughtful modern updates and irreplaceable character. The interior was comprehensively reimagined new roof, floors, kitchen, bathrooms, windows, doors, lighting, HVAC, septic and leach lines all done with care and quality that shows the moment you walk in. The open floor plan flows into a spacious family room, an inside garden, and a yoga room that sets this home apart from anything else in this price range. Step outside and the property opens into something truly extraordinary. A brick patio with fire pit anchors the back of the home, surrounded by mature, meticulously maintained gardens with excellent loamy soils and a full sprinkler system. The crown of it all: what is believed to be the largest and oldest Valley Oak in Chico over 400 years old, recently lightened and shaped casting shade that transforms the property on even the hottest summer days. Beyond the gardens, the rear of the property tells a story of its own. The original animal barn from the ranch that predates the subdivision has been preserved and updated, featuring three working stalls, a center room workshop, and two storage rooms. A steel-frame greenhouse with water and electricity, a fenced pasture planted with forage grasses, a vegetable garden area, and a fully finished adult-sized two-room playhouse with loft, electricity, and water round out a back acreage that is genuinely one-of-a-kind. The entire property is enclosed by roughly 800 linear feet of wrought iron fence panels set between brick posts.
