BACK ON MARKET, AT NO FAULT OF SELLER!! Welcome to 2686 Fairfield Common, a charming retreat tucked within the highly desirable Sierra Sunrise 55+ COMMUNITY in California Park, where low-maintenance living meets a beautifully natural setting. Just moments from the tranquil lake, walking trails, and private park access, this home offers the perfect blend of independence, serenity, and connection. Step inside and you'll immediately notice the natural light that floods the living space, thanks to the vaulted ceilings and large windows that bring the outdoors in. The living room features a cozy gas fireplace that anchors the space, creating a warm spot to relax or entertain. Just off the living room, the dining area and kitchen offer a functional layout with ample cabinet space, ideal for whipping up a quick lunch before your afternoon stroll by the lake or hosting friends for dinner. Down the hallway, you'll find all three bedrooms thoughtfully arranged for both privacy and convenience. The generously sized primary suite is a true retreat with direct access to the backyard patio, a walk-in closet, and a bright en-suite bathroom complete with dual sinks and a walk-in shower. The two guest bedrooms are perfect for visiting family or hobbies, and the guest bathroom sits conveniently nearby. The indoor laundry room leads directly to the attached 2-car garage, offering plenty of storage and easy access. Outside, the backyard is private and low-maintenance with a spacious concrete patio, just right for sipping your morning coffee, reading a good book, or enjoying a peaceful evening under the stars. Surrounded by mature trees and nestled within one of Chico's most scenic neighborhoods, this home offers the opportunity to live independently, comfortably, and fully. Enjoy all the perks of the California Park lifestyle: serene lake views, miles of trails, nearby medical facilities, and a close-knit community designed for those who value both simplicity and beauty in their everyday living. At 2686 Fairfield Commons, your next chapter starts here!
