This is a big, 3 story home, right next to Bidwell Park with plenty of room for friends. Alongside this pretty 3 story home is a small 1/1 cottage and an efficient 1/1 apt. over the garage! Throw away that gym membership and enjoy your direct access to nature just steps from your back yard. There is not much traffic on this part of E 8th, and between the house and Chico Creek in the park, nature enjoys a no car zone. All 3 homes are pleasant and have had recent updates to roofs, HVAC and more. The large home is more than just a wonderful 4/4.5 home with 2 more big rooms up on the 3rd floor! The 1st floor entry has room for a grand piano! The spacious living room flows into the central dining room, which transitions back to the family room, including a fun wet bar near the big country style kitchen. With 50's era, reclaimed oak flooring, lots of storage, a big island with room for the chef's fans to gather and a breakfast nook with a view, the kitchen is the heart of this home. A covered deck is just outside. The 2nd floor has the master suite with many built-ins and a private master deck. There are 4 large bedrooms, 2 generous baths and a laundry. The 3rd floor used to be a separate rental. Now it has access to indoor and outdoor staircases. The 3rd floor could be your private retreat, home office, an office rental or Airbnb space with 2 rooms, a bath, a kitchen-ette with sink and frig, laundry closet, pellet stove and a big deck, with night views of the stars over the park.
