This custom designed 3 bedroom, and 2.5 bath home has been held by its original owner since the day it was built, and now it is available for the very first time. Designed by Lenn Goldmann, the residence sits behind a gated entry along a private circular driveway on one of Chico's most desirable streets, offering a rare combination of thoughtful design, quality construction, and exceptional outdoor living. Beyond the gate, the property opens into what feels like a private park. Mature, lush landscaping creates a serene setting, while the backyard features a pool with a waterfall ideal for entertaining. The outdoor space alone sets this home apart from anything else currently on the market. Inside, skylights throughout fill the home with natural light, equipped with automated covers for effortless control of brightness. A split floor plan provides comfortable separation between the bedrooms and main living areas, while wood beam ceilings add warmth and character. Three generously sized bedrooms are complemented by a dedicated office. Owned solar panels keep energy costs low, and the quality of the build remains evident throughout a testament to craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. The neighborhood further elevates this property. The Chico Creek Nature Center is moments away, and Bidwell Park from the popular One Mile area to the expansive trails of Upper Bidwell provides unmatched outdoor recreation. Golfers will appreciate Canyon Oaks Country Club and Bidwell Park Golf Course, while the Five Mile Recreation Area offers additional space to explore. Homes like this simply do not come to market. If you have been waiting for something truly special in Chico, this is your moment.
