Description

Cute as a button! This 2 bedroom, one bath West Avenues cottage is nestled in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to Downtown Chico, Bidwell Park, and Enloe Hospital. From the moment you pull up to this home, you will be charmed by the white picket fence, plantation shutters, covered front porch, and bright yellow dutch style front door. Inside you will find beautifully rich hard wood floors, curved ceilings, french doors to the backyard, a quaint dining room, and a beautifully updated kitchen. The kitchen is a delight featuring quartz counters, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, white cabinets, and laminate floors. Just off the kitchen is a darling breakfast nook with built ins along with an indoor laundry room. The bathroom is nicely situated in the center of the house featuring classic mosaic tile floors, salmon pink shower tile surround, built ins, and a modern vanity. The bathroom is sandwiched between two bedrooms that also boast rich hardwood floors. This home has been lovingly upgraded including dual pane windows throughout, a newer upgraded electrical panel, newer central HVAC system, and a tankless hot water heater. This home also boasts newer siding and exterior paint while still preserving the 1941 history and character. The backyard features another covered porch with french doors that lead inside. You will also appreciate the detached one car garage with alley access, brick pavers, established hydrangea and a beautiful Japanese Maple in the center of the yard to make a statement. A large raised wood deck just off the house is the perfect setting for your morning coffee or evening summer nights with the comforting shade of an established maple tree.

    "It’s very peaceful a lot of the time! Sometimes there will be fireworks around holidays and weirdos speeding, but other than that, it’s nice"
  • Trulia User
    "Lots of people walk their dogs, very few pick up after them and most couldn’t care less about leash laws. It is quite unfortunate considering Chico is home to so many parks."
  • Joann.bettencourt
    "Block parties, pot lucks, tight knit community. Cul de sac where kids can run and play while parents socialize."
  • Tommyross20
    "-Farmers market -Local restaurants and taco trucks are some of the best food you’ll eat. -Being close to chico state campus adds being able to have a gym close by. "
  • Kim T.
    "Lots of students, within walking area of college and downtown area. Definitely not for families, college life!"
  • Carmen

    "we do church events and help feed the homeless, we have a christmas and summer stroll down plumas street during their seasons, and walk to local gas stations. The community is calm and quite and it in the middle of the country. "
  • Joann b.
    "The neighbors are super friendly. Great place to raise kids. Houses are custom, neighborhood is safe. Everyone knows each other. Lots of kids. The best neighborhood in Chico. "
  • rhs
    "Good area for families and serious college students/young professionals. Its about a 15 min bike ride to the university/downtown & Chico high school. There is a small and clean park near by for dogs and a pretty good elementary school. An fancy Chinese restaurant and Omelette/Dining house is in a walking distance. Massage and spa near. But most of your entertainment needs will be downtown or on the east side of town which is still only a 10 min drive away or 15-20 biking (such as movie theaters). Not many college students live around here and the ones that do are pretty peaceful. The train is nearby but it is never bothersome and esplanade street can get crowded during 8am (work and highschool/univesity) and off hours 5pm. However, Chico "traffic" means it takes you 15 minutes instead of 10 mins to get across town. Which is honestly still pretty good compared to other cities."
