Description

Welcome to 497 White Avenue, where modern style meets move-in ready perfection. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home spans 1,124 sq. ft. and has been fully remodeled from top to bottom with today’s most sought-after finishes, creating a space that’s as beautiful as it is functional. Step inside and you’ll immediately notice the attention to detail, new LVP flooring flows throughout, recessed lighting brightens every corner, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and charm to the spacious living room. The open-concept layout connects the living area to the dining space and stunning kitchen, making it ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. The kitchen is a showstopper, featuring sleek quartz countertops, modern cabinetry, a gas range, and a sleek glass-vented hood that makes a striking design statement. Over the peninsula, the kitchen opens to the living room, where sliding glass doors lead outside, allowing you to extend your living and entertaining space into the fresh air. All three bedrooms are generously sized, with the two guest rooms offering stylish black ceiling fans. The primary suite is a true retreat with dual closets, a built-in vanity between them, and an en-suite bathroom boasting a walk-in shower with designer tile surround. The hall bathroom mirrors this contemporary style, complete with a light-up vanity mirror and matching tile details for a cohesive, high-end feel. Outside, this property offers plenty of parking, including a 2-car garage, RV or boat parking, and a driveway with room for multiple vehicles. The backyard has just been freshly seeded with grass, creating a green canvas for your personal touch—add a garden, create a cozy lounge area, or keep it open for pets and play. Perfectly positioned in a central Chico location, you’re just minutes from grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, the movie theater, and multiple schools. For commuters, quick freeway access makes getting to and from work a breeze. Whether you’re running errands, catching a show, or meeting friends for dinner, everything you need is right at your fingertips. And here’s the best part... you’d be hard-pressed to find another fully remodeled home with modern, designer finishes like this for under $400k in Chico. Stylish, functional, and priced to move… 497 White Avenue is the kind of opportunity you don’t want to let pass you by.

    "15 minute drive at most to anywhere in Chico. Drivers are more laidback. However, traffic is at its highest around noon to 6. So you can expect 10 minutes extra in commute."
