Situated on a desirable corner lot within walking distance to Midtown, Downtown, and the Truckee River, this architecturally significant home blends thoughtful design with top-tier functionality. Originally completed in 2016 and honored with an AIA Nevada Merit Award, the home was rebuilt with purpose—featuring custom steel detailing, Brazilian Batu hardwood decking, and integrated systems designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Automatic steel gates, custom planters, and mature landscaping offer privacy and curb appeal, while the built-in hot tub, stainless steel access panel, and underground utilities ensure a clean, modern aesthetic. The main bedroom is a true retreat, featuring radiant floor heating and direct access to the patio and hot tub—blurring the lines between indoors and out and creating an experience that feels both tranquil and connected to nature. Inside, the home features all new plumbing (PEX), electrical, HVAC, split systems, and dual-pane "storefront" windows. South-facing windows are equipped with sun shades for optimal comfort. A custom kitchen anchors the living space with a striking steel panel backsplash, center island, and built-in coffee/tea bar with steel cabinetry. Additional features include underground drainage systems, a garage roof engineered for solar hot water panels, and an irrigation system designed to support mature trees and perennials. Storage is abundant throughout. Combining architectural prestige, privacy, and proximity to Reno's most vibrant districts, this home delivers an unparalleled lifestyle—modern, intentional, and truly one of a kind.
