We're looking for someone who will love this home as much as we do! This 2-bedroom, 2-bath home is full of vintage charm, original character, and thoughtful updates. Built in 1913 and located on a corner lot this 1,250 sq ft house offers a welcoming space in the heart of avenues and is just a 15-minute walk to downtown, Bidwell Park, and Chico State! You'll love the big front porch, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee, as well as the spacious backyard that's great for BBQs and relaxing. The home is sunny and cheerful with lots of windows and features a beautiful kitchen with a farmhouse sink and cozy breakfast nook overlooking the yard. There's also central heating and air, a dedicated laundry room with a washer/dryer. The house sits above a newly remodeled 1-bedroom basement apartment that's rented separately to Airbnb tenants. The basement unit has its own private entrance, kitchen, and laundry so the only shared space is the backyard.
