Some homes are all about the house. This one is about the lifestyle. Set in one of Reno’s most established and sought-after neighborhoods, 1720 Allen Street pairs classic Old Southwest charm with thoughtful updates, a rare spacious backyard, and a location that puts some of the best of Reno close to home. Built in 1951, this charming brick home has been extensively updated while preserving the warmth and personality that make Old Southwest Reno homes so special. Inside, an open and inviting floor plan creates an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining, with updated kitchen and baths, wood flooring, a fireplace, and timeless details throughout. Step outside and you’ll discover one of the property’s biggest surprises: a large backyard with room to truly enjoy Northern Nevada’s four seasons. Entertain, garden, create a play area, gather around a fire pit, or simply enjoy the rare breathing room of a generous lot in central Reno. Enjoy convenient access to Idlewild Park, the Truckee River and its walking and biking paths, local farmers markets, Food Truck Fridays, Midtown Reno, Downtown Reno, restaurants, coffee shops, parks, and everyday amenities. And for buyers considering a move to Nevada, there is another remarkable advantage: current property taxes are less than $1,300 a year! 1720 Allen Street offers something increasingly difficult to find: the character of an established Old Southwest Reno home, a backyard with room to live, and easy access to the outdoor recreation, dining, events, and community that make Reno such a desirable place to call home. This isn’t just a home close to everything. It’s a home that makes it easier to enjoy everything Reno has to offer.
