LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Welcome to 12 Towser Road, where thoughtful design, extensive updates, and one of Chico’s most exciting locations come together in one beautifully finished home. Offering 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and 1,661 sq. ft. , this home has been lovingly updated with a designer eye and shows like new—while still offering the beauty and privacy of established, mature landscaping. The improvements have already been done for you, including a beautiful outdoor patio added in 2019, owned solar and a new HVAC system in 2020, an updated kitchen, half bath and downstairs flooring in 2022, and a stunning primary bathroom remodel completed in 2025. The result is a home that feels fresh, cohesive and completely move-in ready. And then there’s the location. Just moments from Meriam Park and its incredible collection of restaurants, coffee, fitness, shopping and community amenities, with Baroni Park right down the street and Chico’s future bike park planned nearby, this is a location built around an active, connected lifestyle. Enjoy evenings on the patio, mature landscaping you don’t have to wait years to grow, and the benefit of OWNED SOLAR to help keep rising electricity costs in check. If you’ve been searching for a turnkey Chico home where style, efficiency and an exceptional location all come together—this is it.
Little Chico Creek Estates, located between East 20th Street and Bruce Road, is a residential and creekside Chico neighborhood with mature shade trees and a winding greenbelt feel. Streets curve around Little Chico Creek, with cul-de-sacs and ranch-style homes that keep the pace quiet. The neighborhood’s character concentrates near the East 20th Street & Bruce Road junction, where commuter traffic meets the open edges of Bidwell Park. Park paths and riparian pockets shape daily routines more than storefronts. Community touchstones nearby include Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., the Bidwell Mansion State Historic Park, and the Chico Museum. The setting reads outdoors-first, with bikes and walkers filtering toward the creek corridor.
