About This Home
Tucked just off a main street, 121 W. 1st Ave. is a hidden gem with the character of a 1905 Victorian and a location that puts so much of Chico within easy reach. A large wraparound porch welcomes you into this renovated two-story property, where soaring ceilings, gorgeous wainscoting, an updated kitchen, and renovated bathrooms blend historic charm with everyday comfort. All four bedrooms are upstairs, and a finished basement adds even more flexible space. Fresh paint, mini-splits, and a new HVAC system add to the appeal. Live here, explore it as a rental as a Chico State parent investor, use it as an office, or consider a combination of uses. Near Chico State, Enloe Hospital, downtown, shopping, restaurants, and freeway access, this is a rare opportunity to make a character-filled property work for your plans.
