682 E 7th Ave, Chico, CA 95926

Large home had been used as an office for 30+ years so original hardwood floors throughout, kitchen and atmosphere remain including black and white tiled bathroom. Mother-in-law totally updated used as art studio but could be living space with own alley entrance & parking. Flowering plants now added to mature landscaping and grass is almost gone. New fencing and gates add to the charm of this well-located home, now a muted greenish grey outside. Excellent floor plan in main house, updated heat and air. Art studio can function well as a 1 bedroom. There is a very large garage as well that has not yet been updated but does have 220 and 110 electricity already. The property is now zoned commercial as it was a law office before, with the "prior non conforming use" of residential, making it a very valuable place due to the flexibility of use. Neighborhood Description Great soil, pleasant views, near best food sores, decent cafes and coffee places. Many residents have lived here well over 50 years--some for 70. Very stable area but too close to Lindo Channel's homeless population and alley behind home runs between a major commercial street--Market and the neighborhood. New neighborhood watch formed to improve and protect the long-term feeling of this, one of Chico's older neighborhoods, The Avenues. Near the Cozy Diner with easy freeway or CSU Chico access.
