Gracefully set in the storied Newlands Heights neighborhood, the Benham House is a rare blend of architectural heritage and modern luxury. Designed in 1930 by Nevada's famed architect Frederic DeLongchamps, this Tudor Revival estate remains one of the region's most iconic residencescelebrated for its timeless character, handcrafted detail, and enduring craftsmanship. This home's kitchen, bathrooms, electrical and landscaping, all updated to modern standards, now presents itself with a whole house three-zone air conditioning system and refinished wood floors, elevating this historic treasure for a new generation of living. From the moment you arrive, the home's pedigree is unmistakable. Steep roof lines and artisan detailing set the stage for what unfolds inside. Through the arched entry, the living room feels almost cinematican expansive, sunwashed space anchored by a sculptural fireplace. Original millwork and rich textured walls create an atmosphere both intimate and grand, ideal for elegant gatherings or quiet evenings by the fire. The kitchen is a triumph of luxury and performance. At its heart stands a La Cornue range and hood, transforming everyday cooking into a elevated culinary experience. Custom cabinetry and curated finishes honor the home's historic soul while delivering modern convenience. A main floor en-suite bedroom offers comfort and privacy for guests, featuring an original art deco bathroom and a large double entry walk-in closet. Downstairs, a cleverly concealed "speakeasy", complete with independently controlled wine and beverage chillers, invites late night refreshment or quiet conversation. As you climb the dramatic staircase, you will discover three generous bedrooms. The primary suite is a sanctuary of calm and seclusion, elegance and romance. In the completely renovated spa bath, choose between a standalone soaking tub or a stylish walk-in shower while enjoying heated floors and a separate water closet outfitted with a fully automated Toto bidet system. The two additional rooms each offer large walk-in closets (one cedar-lined) and charming ceiling lines that inspire the creative use as nursery, office, entertainment room, or guest space. The home's outdoor living areas extend its luxury into the exquisitely lighted landscape and open air. Relax to the bubbling sound of a three-tiered fountain in the secluded side courtyard or unwind in the evening near the built-in gas fire pit beneath the starry skies of Reno's original Southwest. From 1930 and it's beautiful beginning as the Benham house, to it's 1993 remodel completed in historical harmony with a set of original house plans (found behind a locked drawer in the linen closet), you can see why this house won the first City of Reno Historical Resources Residential Preservation Award in 1997. This is your exclusive invitation to own a definitive piece of Reno history.
