A Frugal Home in Chico?!


During my morning shift guest hosting the KCHO Radio Pledge Drive this morning my friend Louise Phillipi-Derr got to talking about Chico Real Estate and told me about a home in Chico being promoted as ‘frugal’.

It’s safe to say that most northern Californians are living within stricter household budgets these days, but this dwelling truly warrants the title of a ‘Frugal House’.

No it’s not your depression era (the last one) in-law’s home. This home is ‘staged’ by interior design students from Chico State and Butte College, using recycled and refurbished furniture and décor. Like what you see? Buy it! All pieces are sold as a fundraiser for the North State Symphony (Louise in on the board).

The home, at 716 Brookwood Way is on tour Thursday April 15 through Sunday April 18, with a grand opening preview party Thursday evening from 6-8 pm. For more information visit the Frugal House Facebook Page.

Oh by the way, the house itself is not for sale, in fact it JUST sold, fortunately the new owner agreed to honor the agreement to hold the benefit!
