You would never know this private oasis is right in the middle of historic old southwest Reno. Offered for only the third time in a century, this jewel box estate sits on a rare .85 acre lot inspired by the cottages of England's Cotswolds. The current owners spent 35 years meticulously crafting this into a one-of-a-kind property. The 2808 square foot main home and 840 square foot guesthouse is enveloped in privacy by all the surrounding trees. Set back 50 feet from the street, the main home is practically invisible, enabling you to enjoy total privacy to roam the enchanted gardens. The main home has a granite stone and brick exterior, brick pillars with twisting Grapevine patterns, European iron sconces, and a welcoming arched front door. Features include 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 six burner Viking stove, French limestone counters, Heritage mahogany cabinets and Herbeau Fireclay farmhouse sink from France. The baker will delight in the custom marble 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 outside on the patio at a table for 10 surrounded by 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 workout studio with Peloton treadmill, high ceilings with skylights, and heated floors. The guest bedroom 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 office could also be a third bedroom. It features English white wool carpet, Farrow & Ball wallpaper, two skylights and a new sliding door to a patio. The guest house has one bedroom, one bathroom, and a great room. Stunning remodel completed in May of 2026, with all new appliances and furnished. It has also been updated with gas appliances, new water heater and furnace, two year old windows and newer roof. Use this fabulous home for older children, in-laws, guests or a 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 160 square foot greenhouse with plumbing and heating. All systems and electrical have been updated. The owners have plans for an enclosed garage adjacent to the main home that can be passed on to the buyer. Don't miss the opportunity to make this exceptional home yours. The property on the back border of this, at 1550 Mount Rose, is also available for sale if someone wanted to have a larger property with 3 homes.
