Why the Owner Chose Chico

This area actually chose me because of its natural beauty and nearby mountains and lakes. My house is part of Chico's history, centrally located, and in a quiet and friendly neighborhood.

The Unique Benefits at this House

This wonderful house, built in 1874, is surrounded by huge trees that were planted around the time of its construction. Since I originally purchased this house I have restored it to its original glory, and added porches, tiled floors and counters. One of its best features is the close proximity to the university and Bidwell Park, and the historic downtown area, all within walking or bicycling distance.

Owner's Map of Chico

I am a retired contractor who fell in love with this area and town back in 1985, when I moved here to complete my education. I like traveling to other countries, dogs, riding motorcycles, and general sightseeing.
