About this home

Step into a piece of Chico's vibrant history at 256 E. 1st Avenue, an iconic Victorian residence perched on a prominent corner lot of E. 1st Ave and Oleander, just one block from the Esplanade and minutes from Downtown Chico, Chico State, and Enloe Medical Center. Built in 1949, this distinguished 3-story, 8-bedroom, 4-bathroom home spans 2,993 sq. ft. and was once featured as the Decorator's Dream House in 1982.

As you arrive, the welcoming covered front porch and classic double-entry doors offer just a hint of the character inside. Inside, you're greeted by a breathtaking grand staircase, 10.5-foot ceilings, transom windows, handcrafted wainscoting, and wood flooring throughout. The heart of the home, a large light-filled entry, is a true showstopper and sets
