About this House

Welcome to 234 W. 3rd Avenue, a Chico charmer tucked into the Avenues neighborhood. This property offers a flexible layout with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom in the main home, plus a detached potential ADU space featuring an additional room, full bathroom, and mini-split heating and air system. It adds a fantastic layer of versatility.

Inside the main home you will find hardwood floors, Anderson windows, an updated kitchen and bathroom, generous bedrooms and closets (with shelving), fresh ceiling fixtures, and bay-window seat (with hidden storage). A separate sunroom, with laundry connection, is a bonus space to enjoy, as well as the oversized, covered front porch.

Outside, the shaded, low-maintenance backyard is a peaceful retreat (especially welcome during Chico summers) along with gutters with guards and a low-water-use landscape. The covered carport with a garage door provides privacy, security, and peace of mind while offering covered parking.

Then there’s the location. You’re right in the heart of the Aves, close to Enloe Medical Center and just minutes from neighborhood parks, downtown Chico, and more. Nearby Enloe Park is a sweet bonus for families, with room for kiddos to play and seasonal decorations that make it especially fun around the holidays.

Charming, flexible, and wonderfully Chico, 234 W. 3rd Avenue is ready for its next chapter.
We estimate this home will sell faster than 80% nearby.

    "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."

    "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."
