Property Overview
A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship, History & Modern Vision; Words hardly do justice to the extraordinary quality, rich history, and inspired vision behind this beautifully reimagined Classic Chico Craftsman. Thoughtfully remodeled with influences from the iconic Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie style, this one-of-a-kind home blends timeless architecture with sophisticated modern living. From the original Australian hardwood flooring to the stunning wood-framed windows, every detail reflects exceptional craftsmanship. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen is both striking and functional, featuring a professional-grade 6-burner range, custom black walnut cabinetry, and picturesque windows that frame serene views of the pools—creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The lower level has been brilliantly transformed into a fully functional extension of the home, offering a media room, fitness space, steam room, wine cellar, and more—delivering a lifestyle experience rarely found. Throughout the home, exquisite woodwork takes center stage, including custom crown molding, doors, windows, and built-in cabinetry. Each room reveals its own character and purpose, offering unexpected spaces designed to be enjoyed, lingered in, and lived in fully. Owning a home that so seamlessly balances historic charm with thoughtful, high-end updates is a rare and meaningful opportunity—one you’ll appreciate every single day. Step outside and experience true resort-style living with a spacious yard featuring a stunning pool, putting green, outdoor kitchen, fire pit area, and private access to a fully self-contained ADU—perfect for guests, extended living, or additional income. And just beyond your doorstep, enjoy the charm and vibrancy of downtown Chico, just blocks away, with its beloved restaurants, boutiques, and community atmosphere. This is more than a home—it’s a legacy property.
