About this single-family home

Two Homes on One Lot in the Heart of Chico’s Barber District! This rare find combines classic Chico character with modern updates and incredible income potential. Whether you’re an investor, looking for multi-generational living, or simply want a property where rental income can help offset your mortgage, this opportunity is one you won’t want to miss. The front home is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom charmer with an additional bonus room that can serve as an office, den, or even a third bedroom. Inside, you’ll love the original hardwood floors, large picture windows that fill the space with natural light, and an updated kitchen featuring crisp white cabinetry, marble-look counters, stainless steel appliances, and a gas range with a view of the backyard. Peace of mind comes easy with a newer central HVAC system and a 60-year composition shingle roof, both installed in 2021. Tucked away at the rear of the property is the second home, a private studio unit complete with its own kitchen, bathroom, and living/sleeping area. With both alley and backyard access plus a dedicated parking space, it’s ideally set up for rental income, a guest retreat, or even an artist’s studio. Outdoor spaces add even more appeal, from the fenced front yard and welcoming porch perfect for morning coffee, to the backyard with room for storage, a garden, or simply a place to relax. And the location? Unbeatable. Just blocks from Chico State, Chico Country Day School, Rotary Park, and Downtown Chico’s shops, restaurants, and events, you’re at the center of one of Chico’s most premier and historic neighborhoods. Whether you’re searching for an income-producing property or a versatile home with classic Chico charm, this Barber District gem with two homes on one lot checks all the boxes.
