1027 Colmena Drive Welcome to your own private retreat in one of Chico's most desirable neighborhoods. Situated on a beautifully landscaped .29-acre lot, this nearly 2, 300 sq. ft. home offers a rare combination of privacy, character, and outdoor living. The grounds are truly something special, featuring mature landscaping, a peaceful waterfall, winding stone pathways, and eight fruit trees including apple, cherry, plum, and more. Whether you're relaxing by the pool, entertaining guests, or enjoying the gardens, every corner of the property offers something to appreciate. Inside, you'll find warm wood accents, vaulted ceilings, skylights, a solar tube, and abundant natural light throughout. The spacious living room is anchored by a newer wood stove set against a stunning brick hearth, creating a comfortable gathering space year-round. French doors and large windows throughout the home showcase beautiful views of the surrounding gardens and seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen offers generous counter space, abundant cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and an easy flow into the dining area, making it ideal for everyday living and entertaining. A versatile bonus room provides endless possibilities as a formal living room, home office, media room, hobby space, or guest retreat. Built-in shelving, window seating, and custom storage add both charm and functionality throughout the home. The primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat with garden views, outdoor access, and a spacious ensuite bath. Additional features include owned solar, some fresh interior paint, a new front door, an art studio with power, storage shed, and multiple outdoor living spaces designed to enjoy Chico's beautiful seasons. Properties with this level of privacy, mature landscaping, and outdoor enjoyment rarely become available. This is a home that must be experienced in person.
