1631 Salem Street

Here are two homes on one lot, with an additional buildable lot. Nestled in the sought-after Barber District of the South Chico area. Over a quarter of an acre with two separate parcel numbers, building on the vacant lot is possible. This gem offers a primary residence that, although constructed in 1924, has been thoroughly updated and well-maintained. A separate dwelling, studio/ guest unit, was newly built in 2019 and has private access through a covered breezeway. When you enter the main house, you'll immediately love the soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and ceiling fans throughout. The open floor plan is perfect for modern living, with a kitchen that features stylish wood cabinetry, expansive counter space, skylights that brighten the room, and a gas range with a range hood that makes preparing meals a breeze. There are two spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a laundry room, an enclosed sunroom room, and a loft area—giving you two additional spaces to transform to fit your needs.
The entrance to the private studio has heated tile floors, leading to a tiled European-style wet shower bathroom, a separate office, a one-car garage with alley access, and indoor laundry. As you ascend the stairway to the main living area, you'll notice the high dormer windows providing abundant light, exposed beams, luxury waterproof vinyl plank flooring, and a second tiled European-style wet shower. The kitchen has a dishwasher and a refrigerator. It is heated and cooled by a mini-split. A balcony offers a peaceful view of the expansive, park-like backyard with room to enjoy the outdoors. Surrounded by mature trees, this serene outdoor setting provides plenty of space for gatherings with friends, growing a garden, and enjoying the tranquility. Opportunities like this don't come around often—this property is the perfect blend of charm, functionality, and endless potential. Don't let it slip through your fingers!
