A piece of history in Paradise, the original Foster family homestead. Located in the lower foothills of Paradise, just minutes to Chico is where you will find this piece of land. Sprawling almost an acre of fully useable land, you will appreciate the ample driveway space and fully fenced backyard. The charm of this old home will have you wanting to sit on the front porch as you watch the sunset over the pasture across the street on out to the valley. Step inside and you'll notice the brand new laminate flooring throughout the main living areas into the hall and carpet in the bedrooms. The open floor plan makes the space feel light & bright all while you imagine yourself cozied up by the fire on a cold winter day. In addition to the new flooring, new interior paint, newer vinyl windows, there is also a brand new whole house water filtration system. Out back is where you will find even more space for all your needs, a detached shop/shed and a classic brick outdoor BBQ kitchen. If you can appreciate a home with a story, be sure to check this one out!
