This is ideal for a contractor or other flippers. This nice little 1940's house has a long history as a Chico State Neighborhood rental. Many CSUC grads have fond memories of parties with friends, in this big, shady back yard on Hobart Street. This is a cool street in an excellent location. Hobart is just a couple of blocks to the University or to Chico High. It makes a quick walk to early classes and an easy walk home, after an evening in Downtown Chico. The seller lived here years ago, and has since rented it for years. He is now retiring and wants to turn over the key to a fresh new college fan. There are many long term owners on this street. You will notice several of the little old homes on Hobart have grown larger and some have added second units in the large back yards. Units are being improved because this is a really good location to live in or to rent. Some houses like 1251 Hobart, need a face lift and some sincere body work to bring it up to compete with other good rentals. This house looks good inside, but it needs over $10k in wood repairs, needs updated windows and new wall heater and window units, and other fixes. Seller has priced it for you to do repairs. We have reports on file. If you want to buy into the sweetest deal just north of campus, drive by this opportunity today. There are restrictions on building a second unit on this lot. I think an owner may need to live on premises. Are there any student parents out there, looking for an investment?
