Welcome to this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath home in the heart of Old Southwest Reno, where beautifully refreshed spaces meet incredible potential for the future. Step inside to find a freshly repainted interior, beautifully refinished original hardwood floors, and a remodeled kitchen complete with a cozy breakfast nook—the perfect spot for morning coffee or casual meals. The home has also benefited from several meaningful recent improvements, including a beautifully remodeled bathroom completed in 2025, a new front door, new sewer line installed in 2025, and a new water heater. The exterior has been freshly painted as well, while new front landscaping adds to the home's inviting curb appeal.

Whether envisioned for recreation, a home gym, office, hobbies, storage, or future finished space, the basement gives the next owner an exciting opportunity to expand the home's functionality and truly make it their own. The location brings even more to love. Enjoy convenient access to local schools, neighborhood coffee shops, restaurants, the Truckee River, and some of the area's favorite community amenities. Idlewild Park is just minutes away, making it easy to enjoy Food Truck Fridays, local farmers markets, walking and biking paths, days along the river, and everything that makes this part of Reno such a desirable place to call home.
