About this home

A detached studio ADU adds exceptional versatility to this Chico charmer in the Avenues neighborhood. Complete with a full bathroom and its own mini-split heating and air system, the ADU complements the inviting 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom main home at 234 W. 3rd Avenue, offering flexible space for extended family, guests, or rental opportunities. Inside the main home you will find hardwood floors, Anderson windows, an updated kitchen and bathroom, generous bedrooms and closets (with shelving), fresh ceiling fixtures, and bay-window seat (with hidden storage). A separate sunroom, with laundry connection, is a bonus space to enjoy, as well as the oversized, covered front porch. Outside, the shaded, low-maintenance backyard is a peaceful retreat (especially welcome during Chico summers) along with gutters with guards and a low-water-use landscape. The covered carport with a garage door provides privacy, security, and peace of mind while offering covered parking, with several additional parking spots in the large driveway. Then there’s the location. You’re right in the heart of the Aves, close to Enloe Medical Center and just minutes from neighborhood parks, downtown Chico, and more. Nearby Enloe Park is a sweet bonus for families, with room for kiddos to play and seasonal decorations that make it especially fun around the holidays. Charming, flexible, and wonderfully Chico, 234 W. 3rd Avenue is ready for its next chapter.

About West Avenues-North

Campus

West Avenues-North Campus, located between Bidwell Park and California State University, Chico, is a residential and academic Chico neighborhood with tree-lined avenues and a bike-forward street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around W 1st Ave and Warner St, where porch-lit blocks meet a steady stream of cyclists and campus-bound foot traffic. Early-20th-century bungalows and small apartment courts sit alongside student-era classics, with mature shade trees setting a calm streetscape. The University Farm and the Chico State campus edge bring open lawns, research fields, and a collegiate rhythm. Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. and the Chico Art Center add local flavor beyond the classroom. Bidwell Park’s western trails and creekside paths frame daily routines with green space close at hand.
