Rare Multi-Space Property in University Heights — Ideal for Car Enthusiasts, Hobbyists & Independent Living
PRICE REDUCTION!
Welcome to a uniquely versatile 4 bedroom, 3+1 bath custom home in University Heights, offering over 3,600 sq ft of functional living and working space across the main level, finished lower-level suite, and two oversized garages. Hand-built with care by a skilled craftsman/owner, this home, on a quiet 0.42 acre hillside lot, is perfectly suited for anyone who values workspace, storage, creativity, or has an automotive passion. This portion of the neighborhood has no HOA to contend with, either.
The main home features 1,736 sq ft of living space above, plus a fully finished 512 sq ft lower-level suite with its own private entrance, full bath, kitchenette, and laundry — ideal for rental income, multi-generational living, or a dedicated project or studio space.
For car enthusiasts, woodworkers, or home-based businesses, the garage capacity is exceptional. The basement’s 768 sq ft oversized 2-car finished garage provides abundant room for vehicles, tools, and equipment. Abundant custom cabinetry and workbench area provide a nice shop for anyone with a hobby that requires such amenities. The additional detached 672 sq ft garage includes its own full bath, creating a rare, highly functional shop environment for automotive work, fabrication, detailing, or any hands-on pursuit. Both structures received brand-new roofs last month.
The home’s energy-efficient design includes passive solar orientation, skylights, cozy natural gas living room stove, and room-specific heating. A “whole house” fan moves cool air from below the living area and exhausts heat out through the attic. The xeriscaped lot with native vegetation offers rugged beauty with minimal maintenance. The big, full wrap-around deck provides opportunity for entertaining and makes the outdoors into living area you will appreciate having.
Located directly across from the beautiful University of Nevada Reno campus and Rancho San Rafael park, this home sits on a low-traffic, non-through street with elevated views of the Sierra Nevada and the Truckee Meadows. Downtown Reno is just 10 minutes away.
For buyers seeking serious garage space, flexible living arrangements, and proximity to UNR, with no HOA, this property offers a rare combination of features seldom found in University Heights.
