This is a very pleasant place to call home. Local Chico folks know that Kentfield is a sweet tree lined street, that still has the feel of a well done 1960's neighborhood. It is tucked in between E 5th Ave and E 1st Ave, not far from Neal Dow School and In Motion Fitness, and just quick bike ride to Bidwell Park. The yards are a gardener's dream, plants seem to grow well here, hydrangeas, peonies, and the flowering plants and trees, that Old Chico is known for. The house has a ranch style floor-plan, the kitchen is in front with a corner sink and a good view of the neighborhood beyond. There is plenty of counter space and a cute center island bar. The cook’s stove has a natural gas cook top and electric oven. The kitchen is open to the dining room to enjoy the ambiance of a corner fireplace. These rooms open to the living room with a second fireplace, shiny oak floors and a good view of the backyard. The bathrooms have been updated with granite counters and new tile and there is crown molding in living room/hallway. The floors are all hardwood or tile. There is a street light across the street and a bus stop not far away. The fire-pit has a nice area for star-gazing. Come on by and catch the relaxed flavor of this comfy home.
