About this property
Four Bedroom Beauty in Historic Neighborhood
Tower House, named for a nearby, iconic water tower, is a spectacular four bedroom home located in Chico's historic Avenues neighborhood. The century-old bungalow, beautifully remodeled and expanded to 2,000 square feet of elegance and inviting style, is family friendly and studded with welcoming spaces. Each floor has two bedrooms and a bathroom. Several blocks to restaurants and stores; easy walk to downtown Chico, CSU campus and Bidwell Park. Three bikes make exploring fun and easy.
we bought and furnished a home to meet our own high expectations: gourmet kitchen, quality linens, blackout drapes, expansive TV selections and fast wifi. We have books, board games and playing table, and are baby friendly with pack n play, high chair, toys and stairway gates if needed.
Our decor is neutral and soothing and the upstairs bathroom includes a claw foot soaking tub. This home offers plenty of space to enjoy, whether in still-Covid cautious times or in the future when normal life and big celebrations resume. (Note our professional cleaning service adheres rigidly to covid hygiene standards.)
Downstairs includes enclosed front porch, living room, kitchen, dining and two bedrooms on either side of a bathroom. Upstairs has the primary bedroom (with private deck and large closet), a queen sized bedroom and a bathroom with shower and soaking tub between the two.
We've stocked the kitchen with brand new dishes and glassware for 12. We provide both Keurig and 12-cup coffee makers; everyday cooking gear along with instant pot, crock pot, immersion blender, ricer, food processor and hand mixer.
The enclosed front porch is perfect for morning coffee; the upstairs veranda or wisteria-draped side patio (with table and chairs) is ideal for afternoon happy hour. Backyard landscape renovation is underway. For peace of mind or potential health care needs, Enloe Hospital is just two blocks away. And if homeschool or remote working is on the agenda, rest assured Tower House offers several ideal spots to set up shop. We want you to have an easy stay that starts with keypad entry. No keys to worry about! We are proud to have all five star reviews and appreciate the comments about the home’s scrupulous cleanliness. We work with Chico’s premier commercial cleaning crew. Price includes local taxes.

About the host
Hosted by Maggie Cox
We are a Chico native/ Chico State alum and spouse who have been lured back by the arrival of our first grandchild, who lives three blocks away with our daughter and son in law. We are ecstatic to be back.
Why they chose this property
This home is ideally located in one of Chico's oldest, best character neighborhoods. Easy walk to downtown; nearby restaurants and grocery stores. Just two blocks to Enloe Hospital, and two blocks off Chico's gracious Esplanade.
On top of location, this home has a century-plus of character (original small house was built in 1908); we've added square footage, spaciousness and modern appointments, all designed for easy and elegant living.

What makes this property unique
We love this house and every minute we spend in it....and are happy to offer it to guests for the times we are not here. After years of staying in air bnb b's and VRBO properties, we wanted a home with thoughtful design and equipment, matching dishes and towels, good cookware, contemporary decor, and a warm, welcoming, comfortable and safe feeling. This is a house we've made a home.
