This home is located within the exclusive, gated community of The Villas at Butte Creek Country Club, which features only 8 houses on the street. The current owners have thoughtfully updated this home in the 4 years they've lived here. Upgrades include a new 3-zone HVAC system installed in 2023, owned solar panels installed by Chico Electric in 2022, a tankless water heater that is approximately a year old, and leaf guard gutters. Step inside through the double door entry to an open floor plan. The home boasts a formal dining room and a large family room featuring a beautiful granite fireplace. The kitchen is well-appointed with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a walk-in pantry, and a charming eating nook. Generous bedrooms and bathrooms provide ample space. The master suite features a luxurious step-in shower and a separate jetted tub, complemented by a dual-sink vanity. The laundry room is highly functional, providing an abundance of cabinetry, counter space, a sink, and a window. The spacious garage is remarkable, offering ample room for both cars while still providing a dedicated area perfect for a home gym, or workshop, and all the storage you could need. The backyard offers a peaceful retreat that transforms with the seasons. Enjoy cool, shaded summers after a vibrant springtime. Especially when the lush vine begins to grow across the wall. In the fall, the leaves turn a stunning red, creating a beautiful backdrop. Imagine starting your mornings with a peaceful coffee on the back covered patio. This home is perfect for entertaining; the spacious backyard has comfortably hosted parties of 20+ people, complete with a bounce house and sprinkler setup, without feeling crowded. Enjoy the established flower beds surrounding the home, perfect for the avid gardener. The backyard beds are currently filled with a variety of vegetables and receive excellent afternoon sunlight. The front garden bed beneath the office window is ideal for sun-loving plants, such as tomatoes, which benefit from the morning sunshine. Expect to see beautiful California Poppies blooming in the springtime in the flower bed next to the garage. Enjoy the abundance of local wildlife, which is rarely found closer to the city. Birdhouses have been placed around the property, offering a delightful chance to observe various birds and critters. If you're lucky, you might even spot deer occasionally wandering across the nearby golf course.
