This 2607 sf MCM ranchette exudes classic style, and features 4 bedrooms, three full baths (one with roll-in shower) on one level with no HOA. The massive kitchen was modernized less than 10 years ago and has all the storage you could ever need. The living room and family room have beautiful original narrow-plank oak floors, and grandfathered wood-burning fireplaces with attractive brick. Great bones, tons of charm, and so much space... Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, this lot doesn't look like much from the street, but slowly reveals itself as the largest lot in the neighborhood at .82 acres with mature trees, large lawns, charming outbuildings and unique features. Two bridges take you across the year-round Last Chance and Lake Ditches to a powered artist studio suspended in the trees. There is also a large deck that provides terraced access to the trail that passes through wild roses, willows, and other native flora on the way to your private 201 feet of Truckee River access - one of the largest privately owned access points in Reno/Sparks, and by far the least expensive. No HOA ownership, no shared access - all 201 feet are fully private with flat areas to create your riverside retreat, laze away the days in a hammock, or partake of some of the best fly fishing on the river. With some elbow grease, sweat equity, or hired help, this diamond can shine again for the buyer who can see the vision.
