Property Description
Welcome to 18 El Cerrito Dr, where charm meets modern living in one of Chico's most convenient locations. Nestled on a spacious lot along a quiet, established street, this beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is just minutes from shopping, schools, and freeway access, making it ideal for both everyday living and easy commuting. From the moment you arrive, pride of ownership is clear. The oversized driveway and gated RV parking space (currently set up as a basketball court!) offer flexibility for toys, hobbies, or extra vehicles. Step inside and you'll instantly feel at home in the light-filled living area, where the original hardwood floors bring warmth and character. The open layout flows seamlessly into the dining space, perfect for gathering with friends and family. The remodeled kitchen is a true showstopper. Featuring sleek granite countertops, large tile flooring, and a stylish mix of crisp white upper cabinets and rich-toned lowers, this space combines beauty and function. Stainless steel appliances, ample storage, and direct access to the covered back porch make cooking and entertaining a breeze. Just off the kitchen is a bonus room, currently used as a home office, but perfectly suited for a walk-in pantry, hobby room, or added storage to match your lifestyle. One of the most thoughtful features of this home is the split floor plan. The garage has been converted into a spacious primary bedroom tucked away for added privacy, while two additional bedrooms sit at the opposite end of the home, ideal for guests, kids, or home office needs. Out back, you'll find an expansive yard on nearly 1/3 of an acre-ready for anything. Enjoy established fruit trees, including pomegranate, nectarine, mandarin, and grapevines, as well as raised garden beds prepped for your future harvests. There's plenty of space to play, relax, or create your own backyard oasis-whether that includes a pool, a garden retreat, or even a flock of chickens. With plenty of room to grow, relax, and entertain, this property offers the lifestyle you've been dreaming of. Don't miss your chance to own this gem in the heart of Chico!
