Property Description

A jewel in the Avenues! This turn of the century home with the classic covered front porch has been meticulously, and lovingly redesigned and rebuilt with updated kitchen, baths, laundry, closets, bookcases, and cabinets. The rebuild kept the original charm but added the modern conveniences of dual pane windows, central heat & air, whole house fan, inside laundry room, Hardi Plank siding and much more. Plus the home has a full basement with exterior access and built-in shelving for lots of extra storage. And there is a large detached shop with alley access ( large roll-up door )and off-street parking. In the back portion of the shop, with a separate entrance, is a fully permitted, separately metered, studio apartment with a living area, full kitchen, and full bath. The main house is 2 bedroom 2 bath (approx. 1,140sf ) and the apartment is approx. 598sf. The lot is a lovely garden of paths and plants and places to enjoy the shade of the mature urban forest (which has recently been professionally inspected and pruned). There is an elevated redwood deck with access to the living room and the back yard. The fully fenced yard has a rolling gate to the shop and a swing gate to the apartment parking space. There is a wonderful storage-garden shed. It is rare to find such a "dialed in" home, shop, & apartment that qualifies as a real "Chico Charmer" on a quiet street in the east avenues! Dream home!
