About This Home
Steeped in Reno history and rich architectural character, the Benham House is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved Tudor Revival home designed by renowned Nevada architect Frederic Joseph DeLongchamps. Built in 1930, this iconic residence blends timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates, creating a home that honors its past while embracing today's comforts. Inside, the home's picture-perfect living room serves as the heart of the residence, anchored by a stunning oversized fireplace and framed by the charm and architectural details that define DeLongchamps' work. The home's kitchen, bathrooms, HVAC, electrical, and landscaping have all been carefully updated, ensuring modern functionality without sacrificing historic character. Outside, the property continues to impress with beautiful garden spaces and two distinct outdoor living areas. A private courtyard provides a peaceful setting for morning coffee or intimate gatherings, while the backyard patio offers an ideal space for entertaining beneath Reno's open skies. Located in one of Reno's most sought-after historic neighborhoods, the home offers exceptional convenience just moments from the Truckee River, a short drive to the Reno-Tahoe International Airport, and walkability to many of the city's favorite restaurants and local spots including Wingfield Park and the Riverwalk. Historic charm, architectural significance, and modern livability come together seamlessly at this Ridge Street landmark.
