1050 Esplanade, Chico, CA 95926

This offering includes two separately configured homes on a popular corner lot, each currently operating as a short-term rental. The main home was built in the 1920s and features soaring ceilings, original hardwood floors, and a bright sunroom overlooking the pool. Recent improvements include brand-new exterior paint, a Trex front porch, and a replaced sewer line. The layout includes three bathrooms, with one fully remodeled to be handicap accessible with railings and a ramp. The pool was resurfaced last year and includes a new pool sweep.

A permitted cottage—originally a garage—has its own address and is also used as a short-term rental. The cottage offers private laundry and versatile living space, along with a pool house equipped with an on-demand hot water heater and a newer split HVAC system. The property also includes abundant fruit trees, including peach, cherry, and fig, and ample parking. Public remarks note proximity to Downtown Chico, Bidwell Park, schools, restaurants, and shopping, and the property is described as supporting live/work concepts due to commercial zoning.

For tenants, buyers, or operators, the setup provides practical flexibility: live in one home while renting the other, or continue operating both as vacation rentals. The handicap-friendly upgrades, updated mechanical elements, and separate address for the cottage help support independent use of both structures.
