Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1994, this home is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready, but it primarily features original components that are now 30 years old. The kitchen retains its original oak cabinetry and white tile countertops, and the brass light fixtures and ceiling fans throughout the home are dated. While the appliances have been updated and the property shows pride of ownership, the lack of a comprehensive modern renovation to major systems and aesthetic surfaces aligns it with the 'fair' condition criteria.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 9148, living area = 1843.
Situated in the highly sought-after 'Avenues' neighborhood, this home offers excellent proximity to downtown Chico, local schools, and shopping centers, ensuring strong long-term value.

Built in 1994, some original systems or aesthetic finishes may require modernization to meet contemporary buyer preferences despite the inclusion of updated appliances.
