Tucked into the heart of one of Chico's most beloved neighborhoods, 252 Mill Creek Dr is hitting the market for the very first time in over two decades, and it's easy to see why the second owners have treasured it for so long! Located in the sought-after Amber Grove community, with no HOA and a reputation for its quiet streets and beautiful homes, this lovingly maintained 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 2,251 sq.ft. residence offers a rare opportunity to own a truly special home. From the moment you arrive, the welcoming curb appeal draws you in with a covered front porch, manicured landscaping, and a gated side yard perfect for a small RV or boat parking. Inside, the thoughtful floor plan opens with durable Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring and two living spaces, including a den just off the entry. The main living room features vaulted ceilings with wood beam detailing, a skylight, and a raised gas fireplace that instantly feels like home. The space flows effortlessly into the kitchen and dining area, where Corian countertops, recessed lighting, a gas range, pantry, and bar-top seating make both cooking and entertaining a breeze. The split floor plan offers ideal separation of space, with the primary suite tucked privately down its own hallway, complete with dual walk-in closets, plush carpeting, and a slider that opens directly to the backyard. The en-suite includes dual sinks, tile flooring, and a walk-in shower. Each guest bedroom is generously sized with walk-in closets and access to a full guest bathroom with dual sinks inlaid in Corian countertops and tile flooring. Step outside to your personal retreat. An oversized covered patio stretches the full length of the home with ceiling fans, retractable shades, and plenty of space for dining and lounging. The oversized in-ground pool features a 4' shallow end and 8' deep end, larger and deeper than standard, with diving rocks and ample surrounding patio space for relaxation. Additional highlights include a 3-car garage with workshop space, dual-motor QuietCool whole-house fan, a large laundry room, and a whole-house OWNED solar system! Smart home upgrades include a professionally installed alarm system, a Ring Camera, an app-controlled thermostat, porch lighting, and garage doors. Plus, you're just one block from Peterson Park, featuring a basketball court, a newer playground, and wide open space to enjoy the community. This is more than a house, it's a lifestyle you'll love coming home to!
