In the heart of Old Southwest Reno, 1475 Nixon Avenue is a rare example of what can happen when a 1950s home is reimagined with equal respect for its past and its future. Surrounded by tree-lined streets, distinctive architecture and the walkable lifestyle that makes this one of Reno's most… Read More beloved neighborhoods, this home was a passion project from start to finish. Completely remodeled while intentionally preserving the spirit of its era, every design choice is purposeful. New flooring, texture and paint create a fresh foundation, while designer tile, sculptural lighting, brass accents and thoughtfully chosen color bring personality back into the home. The kitchen pairs new Forno appliances with statement tile, a pantry and custom built-in banquette seating, creating a breakfast nook that feels nostalgic and current. Both bathrooms follow suit, balancing playful color and retro character with Moen fixtures and modern-day function. At the center of the home, custom Dutch doors become an architectural focal point, opening the great room directly to a peaceful courtyard. Open the upper halves to let in fresh air and conversation, or open them completely to blur the line between indoors and out. The privately positioned primary suite and bonus room also open to the courtyard, giving the home an easy, distinctly Southern California feel. The four-bedroom layout offers flexibility, including a bedroom particularly well suited for a home office with a front patio view. The bonus room adds another layer of versatility with a wood-burning stove and access to both the courtyard and enclosed patio, creating an inviting space for movie nights, games, reading or gathering with friends. Outside, the design continues. New architectural breeze block and pergola roof, new fencing and a custom side gate transform the exterior with equal attention to privacy, function and style. The enclosed front patio becomes a private, light-filled extension of the home, with secure space for bikes and gear and plenty of room to simply hang out. New landscaping in both the front and backyard layers native plants, grasses, roses, texture and color to complement the architecture and era of the home. This is more than a beautifully remodeled home. It is an ode to Old Southwest, thoughtfully designed to honor its 1950s roots while creating something fresh, functional and entirely original. A home with history, personality and a sense of place that simply cannot be replicated. Read Less
