The exterior is a masterpiece of Victorian design with intricate trims, railings and a welcoming front porch. Perfectly situated on a spacious corner lot surrounded by lush greenery, century-old palm trees, matured and young planted fruit trees. The grounds have simple gardens that provide a serene retreat from the hustle and bustle of downtown life. Enjoy the variety of fruit trees, grapes, blackberries, herbs and succulent gardens. This stunning 2-story residence seamlessly blends classic architectural details with modern comforts, offering 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and over 2,700 square feet of living space. From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by the inviting covered front porch and second-story balcony, ideal for relaxing with your morning coffee or enjoying peaceful evenings outdoors. Inside, tall windows fill the home with natural light, highlighting the high ceilings. The updated kitchen features GE Profile stainless steel appliances, Corian countertops, and ample cabinetry, while the formal dining room and spacious living room provide perfect spaces for entertainment. Also, downstairs, there is an oversized half bath and a full laundry/mud room. Upstairs, there are three guest bedrooms, generously sized, and a primary bedroom with a spacious, modern bathroom with a walk-in-tiled double shower. At the top of the stairs is a beautiful study or library area, with access to the private upstairs balcony (access provided through the windows). If you would like to add living space, look at the unfinished attic with the pull-down staircase, ideal in its current condition for storage, but ample space to add a primary suite or additional living space. There’s even a bespoke shed built in the style of the home. Located in a desirable, tree-lined neighborhood close to parks, shops, the Feather River, and historic Downtown Oroville shopping district.
