Overview
This property features two homes on a corner lot in Chico, currently operating as successful Airbnbs.

The floor plan includes multiple bathrooms, with one fully remodeled to be handicap accessible, including railings and a ramp. Recent upgrades include new exterior paint, a Trex decking front porch, and a replaced sewer line. A wrap-around porch and fruit trees, including peach, cherry, and fig trees, enhance the outdoor space. The pool was resurfaced last year and includes a new pool sweep. The home was previously configured as an 8-bedroom property, offering the potential to convert it back for additional rental income.

It includes a spacious room with a murphy bed, windows overlooking the pool and neighborhood, a full bathroom, and a kitchenette. It also features an on-demand hot water heater and a newer split HVAC system. The property offers potential for multi-generational living or a live/work setup due to the commercial zoning.
