About this home

Welcome to this extraordinary European-inspired estate where timeless Old World charm meets luxury living. Just steps from Bidwell Park, this one-of-a-kind residence welcomes you through a 200-year-old French antique door into a home filled with exceptional craftsmanship and elegant design. Soaring ceilings, custom European Alder woodwork, intricate crown molding, hand-carved Italian staircase details, antique French and Belgian doors, and stunning French chandeliers create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere throughout. Original hardwood, parquet, and Carrara marble flooring blend beautifully with abundant natural light and large windows overlooking Bidwell Park. The custom exterior brickwork showcases reclaimed bricks from the San Francisco earthquake, herringbone detailing, spiral chimneys, and authentic copper gutters. The gourmet kitchen combines beauty and function with Carrara marble countertops and backsplash inspired by French pâtisseries, Viking appliances, a Bosch dishwasher, custom cabinetry, and antique pine accents. The spacious 1,400 sq. ft. primary suite serves as a private retreat featuring vaulted wood-paneled ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, Versailles-inspired flooring, an adjoining office or flex room and French doors opening to a brick balcony overlooking Bidwell Park. Originally built in 1924 and extensively rebuilt in 2007 while preserving its historic character, this remarkable 3,824 sq. ft. home is located on Chico’s iconic Woodland Avenue, just moments from downtown Chico, California State University, Chico, shopping, dining, and local attractions. A rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive home where European elegance and historic character meet modern comfort.
