278 E 3rd AVE Chico, CA 95926

The vibe in this 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1910 bungalow is distinctly charming, gorgeous, and full of light! If you don't know the original (Vecino East) Avenues neighborhood, it’s considered one of the most desired neighborhoods, not only for its nostalgia, but for the location as well. Walkability is a premium, being close to Enloe Hospital, Bidwell mansion and trails, CSU, Chico High School, and Old Town Chico with a multitude of eclectic restaurants, shopping, and Collier Hardware! This vintage home has been meticulously well maintained in and out to preserve the old-school vibe and blend of modern amenities including fresh exterior paint, a new tankless water heater, heating and air conditioning system with a programmable thermostat, and custom dining nook. Upon entering this extraordinary property, you will be greeted by rich (mostly original) fir wood floors, an abundance of natural light, dual pane windows with blinds and custom window treatments, a new indoor laundry area, and a beautiful kitchen surrounded with windows to watch the world go by and the seasons change. The back window/door affords a lovely view of a stupendous, flat backyard with room for a Bocce Ball or Volleyball court, or pool! Features include fire pit, a sunflower garden, a big lawn area, and a producing vegetable garden, all of which are irrigated with an automatic, remote water-wise system. Along with parking in the front, there is alley access with gated off-street parking in the back and room for an RV. There is huge bonus potential in the (24 x 20) multipurpose outbuilding, perfectly set up for a workshop, exercise, or art studio, extra outdoor living space, and potential for an ADU. There is a staircase to a small basement accessed from the outside back of the house that serves as a utility area with a large capacity washer and dryer for your big loads! That's right, you have two laundry rooms! The house can be purchased fully furnished, perfect for a 2nd home or rental. Most furnishings are negotiable. This property is a must-see!
