    TWO homes on one lot located on the highly sought after Bidwell Avenue. Do we need to say more?! These darling homes have been brought back to life with updates galore. As you enter the main home on the property, you are immediately greeted by new warm laminate flooring, a bright living room, and an expansive built-in for all of your books and trinkets. Into the kitchen, there is a cozy breakfast nook, stainless steel appliances, mahogany cabinetry, quartz counters, and tongue and groove paneling really bringing in the farmhouse feels. Through the kitchen is the spacious laundry room and pantry offering extra storage and access to the yard. Two of the bedrooms have new carpet, modern closet doors, and ceiling fans, while the third bedroom down the hall could be used as a flex room, office, or play area. The bathroom has been tastefully updated with a fun floor tile, walk-in shower, and new vanity. The detached ADU on this property is as cute as a button and the definition of Chico Charm. Inside, the space is functional, yet spacious enough for comfortable living. Featuring new laminate flooring, a big window for natural light, and an updated kitchen with quartz counters, a stylish backsplash, and white appliances. There is a built-in linen closet that leads you into the updated bathroom with another fun floor tile, walk-in shower, and updated fixtures. The bedroom is light and bright with a sliding glass door that leads to a screened in patio that is perfect for the upcoming Chico summer nights. Outside the expansive .32 acre lot that extends to the alley has plenty of room for gardening, outdoor activities or even a pool. Other notable features of this property include, newer central heat and air, new attic insulation, new paint, new light fixtures, and dual pane windows. This property has so much character and charm while being turnkey and has the possibility of multi-generational living, generating rental income, or simply being a place for you to call home.
