About this home
Discover timeless charm and effortless outdoor living in Reno's prized Old Southwest neighborhood. This beautifully maintained 1952 brick-veneer home offers classic curb appeal and 1416 sq. ft of comfortable living space across 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. Situated on a generous, fully landscaped 0.29-acre lot, it delivers the rare combination of historic character, modern updates, and an expansive private yard that feels like your own private park in the city. Inside, original hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, complemented by large windows that frame the lush backyard views and flood the home with natural light. A cozy wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space for those crisp Reno evenings. The updated kitchen features granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Downstairs, the partially finished basement (approximately 255 sq. ft.) adds practical flexibility with laundry, a sink, extra storage, or hobby space - even a third toilet. Recent updates bring peace of mind: central heat and A/C replaced in 2025, kitchen range that was also installed in 2025. The water heater and main drain were replaced in 2018. Schools (Hunter Lake Elementary, Swope Middle, and Reno High School) are just minutes away, along with Food Truck Friday, Reno's downtown/midtown shopping, dining, entertainment, and the Truckee River. Step through the French doors onto a spacious redwood deck overlooking the stunning, fully fenced backyard-a true retreat with mature landscaping, automatic sprinklers (front and rear) custom curbing, and captivating mountain views. Whether you're hosting summer gatherings, tending a garden, or simply relaxing with morning coffee, this outdoor sanctuary is perfect for entertaining or unwinding. A shed keeps gardening tools organized, while the finished 300 sq. ft. garage (with lighted attic storage above) provides ample parking and extra storage. This stand-out Old Southwest gem blends vintage charm with modern convenience on one of the neighborhoods most desirable lots-where the yard truly steals the show. Your next chapter of relaxed, spacious living starts here....
