Welcome to 1516 Downing Avenue—a beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with a spacious 2-car garage, 1,275 square feet of living space, and a functional layout that lives large. Built in 1959, this home has been thoughtfully refreshed while preserving its mid-century charm. Step inside to find refinished original hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, and updated lighting throughout—including a stylish fandelier in the dining area. The living room is expansive, with a cozy gas fireplace framed by original brick, formal dining space, and a custom ceiling detail that adds personality and dimension. The kitchen features updated flooring, sleek concrete countertops, modern fixtures, and a charming breakfast nook. Both bathrooms have been fully renovated: the guest bath keeps a hint of its retro vibe with a new tile tub/shower combo, while the primary bath feels brand new with marble accents, a fun modern floating vanity, and creative built-in niches for storage and display. Hall closets and primary closet have been cedar-lined, adding a touch of luxury and practicality. Step outside and you’ll find one of the home’s standout features—a massive covered awning that runs nearly the full length of the house, creating an incredible outdoor hangout space overlooking the large backyard. Centrally located near schools, parks, and the Lindo Channel, this home offers style, comfort, and convenience in one of Chico’s most desirable neighborhoods
