1555 S Marsh Ave Reno, NV 89509

Offered for only the third time in a century, this jewel box estate sits on almost an acre in historic Old Southwest Reno. Inspired by the cottages of England's Cotswolds, the current owners have spent 35 years meticulously crafting this home into a one-of-a-kind property. This 2808 square foot one story home and 840 square foot guest house is enveloped in privacy from all of the trees on the property. The wagon from the original 5-acre farm is still on the grounds., Set back 50 feet from the street, shrouded in trees, this home is practically invisible. You enjoy total privacy to roam the enchanted gardens. This home has a solid granite stone and brick exterior, with brick pillars with twisting grapevine patterns, European iron sconces, and a welcoming arched front door. This home features handcrafted brushed cedar windows and doors, a cozy stone fireplace, Rocky Mountain bronze hardware, 300-year-old salvaged French white oak floors and beams, hexagon antique terracotta tiles from France, and so much more. The kitchen offers separate zones for cooking and baking. The chef will enjoy the 6 burner Viking stove, French limestone counters, Heritage mahogany cabinets, and Herbeau Fireclay farmhouse sink from France. The baker will delight in the custom maple countertop, Sub Zero drawers, and double Viking ovens. The dining room features a custom-built William Ohs cabinet. Dine by the light of the Mimi London antique chandelier and exquisite Austrian sconces or dine just outside on the patio at a table for 10, surrounded by the extensive gardens. The primary bedroom is very spacious, featuring two cedar lined reach-in closets as well as two walk-in closets. The original flooring is intact, and there are all new Pella double-hung windows and a large sliding door to the outside patio. Just outside, you will find a hot tub and a separate 350 square foot work out studio with Peloton treadmill, high ceilings with skylights and heated floors. The guest suite has welcoming salvaged terracotta tile flooring from France, lighting from Restoration Hardware, and a new 8-foot sliding door to its own patio. The adjacent bathroom is gorgeous, with an Italian glass tile shower, marble floor and original built-in cabinetry. The center bonus room is currently being used as an office but could also be a bedroom. It features English white wool carpet, Farrow & Ball wallpaper, two skylights, and a new sliding door to a patio. The guest house is located far enough away to provide privacy for both homes. It has been updated with gas, new appliances, two-year-old windows and newer roof. Use this fabulous home for family, guests, caretaker, or as a short- or long-term rental. The grounds are truly exceptional, with gorgeous patios, meandering walkways, a Japanese moon gate, an extensive variety of old growth trees, boxwoods and flowers, in-ground gardens, multiple storage sheds, and a 160 square foot greenhouse with plumbing and heating.
