With 4 queen bedrooms, 2 stylish baths, & dual living spaces, there’s room for everyone to relax. The retro game room glows with neon signs, foosball & air hockey, while the backyard patio & gas fireplace invite cozy nights under the stars.

Welcome to our charming Midtown Reno Craftsman, a lovingly restored 1927 home where old-world character meets modern comfort. Tucked away on one of the city’s most walkable streets, our spacious four-bedroom, two-bath retreat blends history, style, and fun—perfect for families, friends, or groups looking to experience the best of Reno from the heart of Midtown.

Step inside and you’ll feel it immediately: the warmth of original hardwood floors, the glow of natural light, and a welcoming sense of space. Every detail has been thoughtfully updated—from new electrical and plumbing to tasteful furnishings and décor that celebrate the home’s historic charm while offering all the modern conveniences you’d expect.

The main level features three inviting bedrooms, each with a comfortable queen bed, plush linens, and soft lighting.

The open living area flows effortlessly into the fully equipped kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances, cookware, utensils, and complimentary coffee and tea—everything you need to cook, dine, and connect.

Downstairs, the finished basement offers a second living space that doubles as a retro-style game room. Vintage neon bar signs set the mood for a night of fun, with foosball, air hockey, and bar games ready for friendly competition.
**There’s also an extra twin daybed and two queen air mattresses for larger groups, along with a second TV featuring free streaming on Netflix, Hulu, and HBO.

Outside, enjoy your morning coffee or evening glass of wine on the front porch patio surrounded by Midtown charm. In the backyard, gather around the high-end gas fireplace for cozy evenings under the stars—perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the city.
