The large kitchen is open to the dining nook and the living room. Entertaining is always fun when the host or hostess can visit with guests while preparing snacks and drinks. Appliances are top quality. The living room has huge windows looking out to the backyard and a wood stove that is totally unnecessary for heat because of the programmable, energy efficient HVAC system. The wood stove, however, is great for romance or cozy rainy winter evenings. Ceiling fans are strategically scattered around the house and the all-house fan pulls cool air through the house in the evening and morning, keeping the house cool on all but the hottest days. Combined with the solar electricity and solar water heating system, the power bill is less than 1/3 of the local average. The property has lots of space and most neighbors are far enough away to preserve your privacy. The house and property are energy efficient and beautifully landscaped. There is a fountain in the front and a horseshoe driveway. Inside the horseshoe are fruit trees, herbs and room for a garden. The swing set can go in the front or the back. The backyard is big with a large patio and is completely fenced. It's great for entertaining, family BBQ's, tossing the football and just relaxing. There's room for a spa and a garden in the back, too. Rent includes landscaping everywhere except the backyard which, for privacy, the tenant will maintain . Other features include a 2 car garage w/automatic opener, lots of storage, a nice workbench for the handy or hobbiest, and washer/dryer hook up. There is the possibility of a third garage bay. The apartment above the garage is rented and well insulated from the main house. The house and property are pet friendly, for an extra fee based on the pet. There is space for cats to prowl and dogs to guard and play. There is a magic screen in the master bedroom to let the cat in without traipsing downstairs in the middle of the night. Yes, those cats can and do like to play on the roof sometimes. The neighborhood is bike, horse, and jog/walk friendly. Downtown Chico and Chico State are a leisurely 20 minute bike ride away. Grocery and hardware shopping is less than 10 minutes by bike. Long bike rides on country roads are just down the street!
