About this home
A rare opportunity in the heart of Old Southwest Reno! This expansive home for a complete transformation, offering an exceptional combination of location, architecture, space, and a large corner lot. The home requires a full renovation, but the bones and character are here to create something truly special. Architectural details include soaring, open-beam wood ceilings, large living spaces, and an incredible second-story retreat with vaulted wood ceilings, expansive windows, a massive bathroom, and walk-in closet. Formerly the primary suite, this remarkable space could become a spectacular studio, office, gym, additional living area, or a combination of these! The home's current bedroom count doesn't begin to capture its potential. With substantial square footage and multiple areas to reconfigure, there are numerous possibilities for creating additional bedrooms and customized living spaces. A new roof has recently been installed, and the home has been converted to natural gas. Outside, the oversized corner lot offers flat, usable front and rear yards and a 2-car carport, with potential for a future garage. Just minutes from Coffeebar, Midtown, and the many shops, restaurants, and amenities that make Old Southwest one of Reno's most desirable neighborhoods. IMPORTANT: Power and water are currently disconnected. The property requires extensive renovation and is being sold strictly AS-IS. CASH BUYERS ONLY. Bring your vision, contractor, and creativity; this is a chance to transform a truly unique property in an exceptional location.
Plumas, located between Plumas Street and Arlington Avenue, is a residential and river-adjacent Reno neighborhood with leafy blocks and mid-century character. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the Plumas Street corridor near California Avenue, where coffee counters, small studios, and low-key eateries set a steady daytime rhythm. Architectural cues lean toward 1940s–1960s cottages and ranch homes, with mature trees softening the streetscape. The Truckee River path frames the western edge with a calm, walkable backdrop. Wingfield Park and the riverfront amphitheater add a cultural pulse without feeling loud. Downtown’s galleries and restaurants sit close enough to shape the mood, while the streets remain primarily residential.
