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 character with everyday comfort. All four bedrooms are upstairs, while a finished basement with newly installed sheetrock adds even more flexible space, with paint matching and completion currently underway. The property features a complete six-zone ductless mini-split heating and cooling system, with six independently controlled indoor units served by two multi-zone outdoor heat-pump condensers. The remaining new HVAC unit has been installed, and all six mini-splits are fully operational, providing individualized heating and cooling throughout the property. More upgrades include, Fresh paint, the new HVAC system, six-zone mini-splits, and fiber connectivity for high-speed internet make this property especially well suited for a professional office, remote work, content creation, or anyone who values reliable internet and streaming. Live here, explore it as a rental or Chico State parent investment, 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.
