Property Description
Discover a rare investment opportunity at 961 Aspen Street in Chico, CA-where history meets modern living with two homes on a single lot! Once part of the renowned Diamond Match Factory, these unique units boast an intriguing backstory-the original buildings were "given away" with the promise that you could haul them off. Two friends, armed with a case of beer, transported these gems from their original locations, breathing new life into them in their current setting.
Today, the front unit, originally an office, has been transformed into a contemporary rental space, while the back unit, once a break room and kitchen for factory workers, has also been repurposed to offer comfortable accommodations. Each unit reflects a blend of historical charm and modern functionality, making them highly desirable for renters.
The property features ample off-street parking for convenience, and an inviting outdoor living space that includes a rejuvenating hot tub, a laundry area, an outdoor shower, and storage options. This combination of unique history, practical living spaces, and outdoor delights makes 961 Aspen Street not just a property, but a remarkable investment opportunity. Expand your rental portfolio or live in one and rent the other. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of Chico's rich history-schedule a tour today!
