Set in the heart of Old Southwest Reno, this thoughtfully remodeled 1926 residence blends historic character with the ease of modern living. A welcoming covered front porch and custom steel entry door set the tone from the moment you arrive, leading into a warm and elevated interior anchored by hickory wood floors, a classic wood-burning fireplace, and abundant natural light pouring through energy-efficient Windsor windows, all complemented by recessed lighting and remote-controlled Hunter Douglas blinds throughout the entire house. At the center of the home, the kitchen is designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Granite slab countertops, a glass tile backsplash, and a full Viking appliance suite are paired with custom maple cabinetry featuring under-cabinet lighting and soft-close drawers, an extra-deep stainless steel farmhouse sink, a large center island with bar seating, and a spacious pantry bringing together style and function in equal measure. The 800 square foot primary suite is a private retreat in every sense. A generous walk-in closet with custom built-ins opens into a spa-inspired bath featuring an oversized triple-head shower with a custom glass enclosure, dual vanities with Grohe fixtures, and a jetted soaking tub. A usable basement provides ample built-in storage, a home gym, and additional living needs. Outside, the private backyard is framed by mature landscaping and designed for year-round enjoyment — a paver patio, outdoor fireplace, al fresco dining area, and hot tub create a seamless extension of the home's living spaces. The detached garage, accessed from the alley, has been transformed into a fully finished indoor-outdoor lounge and bar complete with mini-split climate control, a beverage fridge, granite countertops, and a pass-through window that opens directly to the backyard for indoor/outdoor living. Located just moments from Midtown, parks, and local favorites, this home is a rare find — a piece of Reno's architectural history, thoughtfully brought into the present.
