About This Property

Welcome home to 1960 Allen Street. This wonderfully preserved brick rambler is a rare find, offering 2,615 square feet of timeless character. From the grandiose double-door entry and oversized foyer to the sunken living room with high ceilings and integrated shelf lighting, this home is designed to impress from the moment you step inside. The formal dining room further elevates the experience, featuring an original crystal chandelier, tray ceilings, and classic chair railing. For those who appreciate authentic preservation, the kitchen is a true showstopper. It features beautifully maintained Scheirich cabinetry with lazy Susan corners, a retro Maytag built-in double oven, and a Thermador gas stovetop with a DynaVent system. A triple white cast iron sink sits perfectly positioned to catch the morning sun, while an original built-in desk and a secondary eat-in dining area complete this nostalgic yet functional space. The heart of the home flows into a spacious family room characterized by high ceilings, skylights, and rich wood flooring. A dramatic floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace anchors the room, ensuring a cozy atmosphere year-round. For those seeking a creative escape, the sliders lead to a fully enclosed sunroom—an ideal space for a lush indoor garden, an exercise studio, or a sun-drenched art sanctuary. The primary suite is plentiful, offering an ensuite bathroom, double closets, separate vanity and direct access to the rear patio. Two additional bedrooms and a guest bathroom are tucked away down the hall for maximum privacy. There is an additional half-bathroom just off the laundry room, near the garage entry. Outside, the property offers ample space with mature trees and shrubs; the irrigation system is currently revitalizing the landscaping, and the stamped concrete patio stands ready for your next summer barbecue. A natural gas line has been brought to the home, adding the comfort of air conditioning. In an older home, this is a rare find. Located in the highly sought-after Old Southwest Reno area, you are just minutes from Reno High, Swope, and Hunter Lake schools. Enjoy the convenience of being a short jaunt away from Midtown and the Truckee River while maintaining the peace and quiet of a well-established neighborhood. Whether you're a lover of original Taffeta wallpaper and rambler designs or are a visionary looking to blend classic charm with modern updates, this home is an absolute delight.
