About this home
Charming 2-Bedroom, 2-Bathroom home with BONUS flexible detached additional space in the Barber District. Offering a wonderful combination of character, updates, and flexible living space. The main home features beautiful hardwood floors and a spacious kitchen with gorgeous concrete counters. The bright living room creates a welcoming entrance, while the ensuite bedroom features exterior French doors with built-in privacy blinds that open onto a private deck overlooking the backyard. The bathroom has a new toilet, updated vanity and mirror plus a walk-in shower. The generously sized second bedroom features large farmhouse-style sliding doors and overhead hooks, great for adding a custom hammock. The hall bathroom, which includes a tub has been recently updated as well with a newer toilet and vanity. Outdoor living is just as inviting, with a front porch, a second back porch off the kitchen, and a private fenced backyard surrounded by fresh bark. Lilikoi (passion fruit) vines hang over the back fence, adding to the lush and private feel of the yard. The garden area offers rich soil for those with a green thumb, while a charming fire pit creates the perfect spot for evenings outdoors. The former one-car garage has been converted into approximately 200 square feet of flexible bonus space with its own alley access. The space includes a sink, toilet, and shower connected to the sewer, along with laundry hookups/units. It offers excellent potential for a studio, additional bedroom, office, art space, hobby area, or other flexible use. Behind the separate bonus structure, you'll find a garden bed, shed, and covered back patio offering additional room for gardening, outdoor projects, morning coffee, or relaxing with a good book. Ample parking is available in the front and along the side of the property. Tucked away in a quiet setting with great privacy, character, and a unique layout, this home truly has a special vibe that is best experienced in person.
Barber, located between Downtown Chico and the Chico Municipal Airport, is a historic and industrial Chico neighborhood with railroad-era streetscapes and working-shop energy. The character concentrates along Park Avenue near 20th Street, where taquerias, auto bays, and small storefronts line a fast-moving corridor. Low-slung bungalows and modest cottages sit beside light-industrial lots, giving blocks a practical, lived-in texture. The Chico Branch Library anchors a civic note, while nearby Bidwell Park adds a green counterpoint for walks and rides. Murals and hand-painted signs hint at local makers and long-running businesses. The grid layout keeps routes straightforward from neighborhood blocks to downtown streets.
