587 E 3rd

Property Overview
Chico is one of Northern California’s best-kept secrets—a vibrant university town just a few hours from the Bay Area, Tahoe, and Shasta. This upgraded 1921 Craftsman sits directly across from Bidwell Park (one of the largest municipal parks in the U.S.) and just blocks from downtown and the weekly farmers market—offering rare walkability, charm, and space at a price point that’s increasingly hard to find. The main home features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, plus a bonus office/studio, with thoughtful updates including a remodeled kitchen and baths, hardwood floors, gas fireplace insert, and efficient mini-split system. A separate 2 bed / 1 bath lower-level unit with full kitchen and private living space provides flexibility for rental income, guests, or multigenerational living. Detached garage and low-maintenance yard complete the property. Live steps from nature, food, and community—without Bay Area prices.
