Description

Welcome to one of the most unique parcels in the historic section of the Newlands Manor in the Old Southwest. This one parcel is a two-home property. The front cottage house is one home and the back house a separate, legal property. The back was gutted of 60 years of “must go materials” and is now ready for whatever you want; a rental, an office, even an expansion to the main house. With a quick finish this property would easily rent for $1500+ as the current market reflects., It is rare to find...Welcome to one of the most unique parcels in the historic section of the Newlands Manor in the Old Southwest. This one parcel is a two-home property. The front cottage house is one home and the back house a separate, legal property. The back was gutted of 60 years of “must go materials” and is now ready for whatever you want; a rental, an office, even an expansion to the main house. With a quick finish this property would easily rent for $1500+ as the current market reflects., It is rare to find a 2-house property and even more, one that meets the City of Reno requirement for legal rental. The main cottage is quiet, solid and oozes the Den of Zen. With unique cut-away arches, stucco & plaster you’ll be reminded of yesteryear when quality building was the art of the day. Wooden shutters allow for morning light or quiet comfort as you enjoy friends for dinner or chilling by the fire. With a gas log lighter a fire is ready in 5 minutes! A 5-burner gas range, fridge and stainless steel interior dishwasher were installed in fall of 2017. The main house has a completely finished basement with storage, nooks, washer & dryer, shower & sink and plenty of room for an extra bedroom, gym or whatever you like. The water heater was replaced in 2016 and a new heavy duty sump pump installed late 2019. The very large backyard was configured for the local gardening and food movement and includes a small flock of hens for fresh eggs. The Hoop House allows for year round gardening. At one time the property was registered as a small micro farm. You can easily create a secondary income stream yourself or by co-opting with a grower. A unique gem offering 2 or 3 add’l income streams if desired. Best seen in person.
