Description

Located in Chico's highly desirable Avenues neighborhood, this inviting mid-century home combines the character buyers love with the updates they hope to find. Offering 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an in-ground pool, this is a rare opportunity in one of Chico's most established and sought-after neighborhoods.Original hardwood floors bring warmth and personality throughout much of the home, while dual-pane windows fill the living spaces with natural light. The brick fireplace creates a welcoming focal point, perfect for cool evenings, conversation, or simply pretending you'll only watch one episode before bedtime.The thoughtfully updated kitchen features concrete countertops, shaker-style cabinetry, decorative tile backsplash, and ample workspace. Both bathrooms have been remodeled with tiled bath and shower enclosures and updated vanities, blending modern finishes with the home's mid-century character.Central heating and air conditioning, indoor laundry, and numerous updates allow the home to offer vintage charm without requiring vintage levels of patience.Three-bedroom homes in the Avenues can be difficult to find, and finding one with an in-ground pool is even more uncommon. The backyard is ready for long Chico summers, weekend barbecues, and afternoons spent poolside. Whether entertaining friends, enjoying a quiet evening outdoors, or becoming unexpectedly popular whenever temperatures reach triple digits, the pool creates an outdoor space that is as enjoyable as it is rare in this neighborhood.The detached garage currently serves as storage and workout space, providing flexibility for hobbies, projects, or exercise equipment, while still offering the opportunity to convert back to a one-car garage if desired. Additional off-street parking adds convenience.Located just minutes from downtown Chico, Bidwell Park, restaurants, shopping, and local schools, this home offers the opportunity to enjoy one of Chico's most beloved neighborhoods while enjoying the comfort, updates, and outdoor amenities that are increasingly difficult to find. Mid-century style, modern improvements, and a pool in the Avenues—some combinations simply don't come along very often.
