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.
