1031 Mildred AV Chico CA 95926 | MLS #SN26205110

Set along one of Chico’s cutest streets in a location that keeps so much of the city within easy reach, the curb appeal is only the beginning for this mid-century charmer. Step inside and you immediately understand that care was poured into every corner, and now this updated, 4 Bedroom, 3 bathroom home with approximately 2,606 square feet is ready for its next chapter. The entry overlooks a sunken living room beneath a beamed ceiling with a large skylight that contributes to the bright and cheerful space. A gas-insert fireplace adds to the coziness of the large room, creating the kind of place where people naturally settle in. To the left, sunlight pours into the dining room through a skylight and large picture window, setting the scene for the meals and conversations to come. White oak brushed-hardwood floors in the dining room, living room and hallways carry you into a kitchen complete with an ample pantry, Thermador stove and stylish Cafe refrigerator. The kitchen’s Saltillo tile floor extends into the adjacent laundry/utility room and guest bath, leading to the private primary suite. The generously sized primary features an ensuite bathroom, natural wood beams, custom built-in bookshelves and drawers as well as french doors that open to a landscaped yard and brick patio. The opposite wing reveals the kind of details you remember after leaving: a hallway filled with built-in storage, a bedroom with its own wood-burning fireplace, and another with a walk-through wardrobe complete with built-in drawers and a seated vanity. The hall bathroom proudly holds onto its iconic 1950’s pink design. Outside, two distinct backyard areas allow the property to shift from lively to laid-back. The two tiered concrete patio, shaded pergola, and recently renovated pool sporting a new Caribbean shelf encourages fun in the sun, while the custom-built floating-wood bench and gas-plumbed fire pit invite everyone to stay outside after the sun goes down. Mature shade trees, lemon and mandaquat trees, and quieter corners give the yard a sense of history of its own. A brand-new furnace and blower, newer AC, and a detached garage connected by a breezeway bring practicality to all that personality. Chico living at it’s best!
