Back on the market at no fault of the seller! Charming three bedroom, two bath mountain house on five private acres in Forest Ranch, just thirty minutes from Chico. This freshly renovated retreat features quartz countertops, new LVP flooring and carpet throughout, brand new appliances, fixtures, and showers in both bathrooms, plus a completely refreshed interior. The exterior has been freshly painted and has a concrete sidewalk and patio around the house. The property includes a detached two car garage with a brand new roof, downstairs bathroom, and storage space, plus a working loft above with open floor plan, separate bedroom or office area, kitchenette, and bathroom, perfect for more space or home office.
