Welcome to 1962 Citrus Avenue, a timeless Chico classic built in 1959, where charm and thoughtful updates come together beautifully. Nestled on a spacious corner lot, this home has been part of the community’s story for decades, offering a warm and inviting presence just minutes from CSU Chico, Historic Downtown Chico, and Bidwell Park. From the moment you step onto the covered front porch, you can feel the character of the home that has been well cared for over the years. Inside, beautifully maintained original hardwood floors add warmth and elegance, a testament to the home’s enduring quality. A cozy wood-burning fireplace serves as a focal point in the living room, creating a welcoming space to gather. The dining space seamlessly connects the living room and kitchen, making mealtime and entertaining effortless. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated, blending function with character – granite countertops, a gas range, and a classic subway tile backsplash create a space that feels both fresh and familiar. Tucked away, the primary suite is light and airy, boasting an en-suite bath with a walk-in shower and tile flooring. Additional bedrooms offer a continuation of the original hardwood flooring. The remodeled hall bathroom features an oversized vanity, abundant storage, tile flooring, and wainscotting for a touch of elegance. Just off the kitchen, the covered and partially enclosed breezeway offers added security and convenience. This space connects to the two-car garage and includes a full bathroom with a walk-in shower, a laundry nook with hookups, and direct access to a concrete patio – ideal for outdoor dining. Outside, the drought-conscious landscaping and a private backyard featuring a Petanque / Bocce Ball court add to the property’s unique appeal. With modern updates like dual-pane windows, a whole-house fan, and a newer (2019) furnace, this home is as comfortable as it is charming. A true piece of Chico’s mid-century history is ready for its next chapter – could it be yours?
