(Note: MINIMUM STAY IS 29 DAYS (one Month) Our home offers the best in city living! It is just minutes away from I-80, Rancho San Rafael Park, downtown Reno, the University, Reno-Tahoe airport, and McCarran Blvd. The nearest grocery store, Raley's, is one mile from our house, on Keystone Ave. The deck is perfect for viewing the Reno Balloon Races--they usually float directly over the house.

Built into a slope on a beautifully landscaped corner lot, our 1994, 1800 sq.-foot, split-level home was recently renovated. The main level features beautiful Brazilian Cherry floors throughout, so we do request that guests remove their shoes in the tiled front entry.

The living room area is defined by a Persian rug, reclining leather chair, loveseat and sofa, and a small gas fireplace. A portable TV stand, which stands in the corner of the master bedroom, can easily be rolled into the living area for viewing. The picture window looks out onto mature landscaping featuring a large fountain and many garden paths, trees, and shrubs.

The formal dining room leads onto an upper level deck, complete with a gas grill and seating area for outdoor summer dining. There is a good, well-maintained Kawai upright piano at the end of the dining room, which our guests are welcome to play.

The kitchen has distinctive Rainforest marble countertops, a composite granite sink, a Samsung oven with Induction stove top, Bosch dishwasher, large-capacity LG refrigerator, Breville toaster oven and water pot, Cuisinart food processor and blender, and Kitchen-Aid mixer. It is a kitchen organized and used by cooks.

Comfortable, supportive beds are important to us as well as to you! The upper level master bedroom has a new Black C-class Beautyrest Queen mattress, with adjustable base, inset dressers, light-blocking blinds, and walk-in closets. It is adjacent to a remodeled luxury bath with a large walk-in shower and long teak bench. The vanity is composite stone with travertine vessel basins and porcelain tile floor.

The upper guest half-bath features a bidet, vanity lights, and porcelain tile floor.

Heading down the staircase, one enters a small living area with a chair, ottoman, desk, and table. A small self-contained kitchenette completes the mini-apartment.
The laundry area is nearby, behind louvered doors. Outside the sliding glass doors, a shaded patio awaits, with additional tables and seating areas, as well as a fire pit with string lighting and optional vertical awning. Around the far side of the house you will discover a small waterfall feature, lovely to hear from outside the open window in the Periwinkle room.
On either side of the den are two small bedrooms, the Jungle Room, featuring a hand-painted jungle mural by a local artist, and the Periwinkle Room. The supportive mattresses are Simmons and Sealy. The downstairs bathroom has a tub, shower, and vanity lights. The bedrooms are carpeted, the remainder is water-resistant floating laminate flooring..

The main outside property features mature landscaping and a drip-irrigation system, installed over a period of twenty-five years by the owners. There are two maple trees, a Japanese plum, a dogwood, an apple, an ash, and a pin oak on the property, as well as numerous, varied shrubs and bushes. A large fountain, which the birds love to visit, sets off a sloping garden near the house entrance. Three separate sidewalks, two from below, and one directly in front, all lead to the front door. The middle one takes you under an arbor; the lower one, near the back gate, features a bench and additional small gardens to view from the bottom, looking up the slope. The main sidewalk entrance features potted flowers on the left and a garden of vinca as well as a shaded, western wagon wheel bench on the right.

Please note that the garage is unavailable to our guests, and a Jeep will be sitting on one side of the driveway, but one driveway space is available, as well as plenty of additional street parking in front of the house. Wi-Fi and central air conditioning are included. A gardener and housekeeper maintain the property. Maintaining a clean, spotless home is a priority for us and for our guests.

The price and 29-day minimum stay as listed on VRBO are firm. There is a refundable $500 deposit which will be returned within 14 days after your visit ends, unless there are additional charges for cleaning, damage or fees imposed by VRBO for processing. Note: due to heavy alkali dust generated at Burning Man, we will not accept reservations from attendees. Violations will result in non-return of the deposit.
