Tucked away on one of Chico's most beloved and iconic streets, 4688 Songbird Drive offers a rare opportunity to own a truly special property where comfort, charm, and practicality come together in perfect harmony. From the moment you arrive, you'll understand why Songbird is such a sought-after address - famous for its festive holiday light displays and year-round serenity, with large lots, mature landscaping, and beautifully cared-for homes lining the street. Set on a full acre, this estate is more than just a home - it's a lifestyle. The main residence boasts over 2,300 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space, featuring 4 spacious bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The cozy sunken living room invites you in with its warm fireplace and transitions seamlessly into the dining area and remodeled kitchen. And just beyond the kitchen? A hidden gem - an impressive scullery or prep kitchen/laundry combo that adds a touch of luxury and practicality rarely seen in Chico homes. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private retreat with its own balcony, the perfect spot for sipping morning coffee or unwinding with an evening glass of wine. Each bedroom offers comfort and natural light, and with recent updates including brand-new carpet and tile in the upstairs bathrooms, the home is truly move-in ready. But the magic doesn't stop there - this property also features a permitted 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom ADU built in 2022. With its own private entrance, newer septic, and open floor plan, it's ideal for extended family or long-term rental. The attached layout offers convenience, while still giving everyone their own space. Step into the backyard built for year-round enjoyment - featuring a sparkling 10-ft-deep pool perfect for summer fun, a relaxing spa, and even a chicken coop for fresh eggs right from your own yard. Seven raised garden beds are ready for your harvest, while lush green lawn invite laughter, lounging, and late-night games under the lights. With 66 OWNED solar panels powering both homes, newer septic systems, and a 100-year roof, and a spacious garage with attic storage, every detail has been carefully maintained and thoughtfully upgraded. There's also ample space for RVs, boats, or other toys! Whether you're searching for a multigenerational retreat, a peaceful escape, or a place to grow roots, 4688 Songbird Dr is a rare gem - one where lasting memories are waiting to be made!
