Rarely does a home of this significance come to market.
Located in Reno’s iconic Newlands Manor neighborhood, this distinguished French Renaissance Revival residence offers timeless architecture, one of the largest lots in the area, and a deep sense of character that only decades of thoughtful stewardship can provide. Designed by famed Nevada architect Frederick DeLongchamps, this home sits proudly along tree-lined Marsh Avenue and retains many original details, including hardwood flooring, pocket doors, and two fireplaces. The spacious main level features a formal living room, elegant dining room, parlor (counted as a bedroom), and a cozy family room, all thoughtfully connected for everyday living and entertaining.
The updated kitchen is outfitted with a Thermador 6-burner cooktop, dual ovens, built-in KitchenAid refrigerator, a bar sink, granite counters, and a breakfast nook overlooking the patio. A butler’s pantry enhances entertaining potential. There is a junior main-level primary bedroom with an en-suite. French doors from multiple rooms lead to an intimate stone patio and a private, park-like backyard, complete with a heated saltwater pool (that includes an electric cover for ease of maintenance and added safety), hot tub, lush floral landscaping, and mature trees offering privacy and shade.
The current owners made significant enhancements to the upstairs including sand and finish herringbone hardwood flooring, and new iron-clad Pella windows upstairs. In the primary suite, they’ve created soaring vaulted ceilings reaching 17 feet, shiplap walls and a built-in armoire. The adjacent “green bathroom” has been fully remodeled with new tile, flooring, a walnut furniture vanity, and updated lighting.
Additional upgrades throughout the home include new visual Comfort lighting fixtures, Emtek hardware, new doors, custom closet systems, a new air conditioner and furnace for the upstairs zone, new radon mitigation system, as well as fresh interior and full exterior paint. The home also has a built-on porte-cochère, and detached three-car garage with attic storage.
Located within walking distance of Midtown and zoned for Jessie Beck, Swope, and Reno High, this is a truly special property in one of Reno’s most historic and sought-after neighborhoods. No HOA.
