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 residences—celebrated 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 cinematic—an 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.

Known as the Payne House and designed in the late 1930s, it features a 20-foot circular entry hall connecting formal and cozy living areas.

With its rich history, detailed restoration, and modern amenities, this house is ready for its next era and owner. Discover a distinctive property that blends architecture and history on Reno's iconic bluff overlooking the Truckee River at 745 California Avenue. This 7,722 sq ft English Tudor Revival estate was designed in the late 1930s by famed Nevada architect Edward Parsons, who called it "rather a thrill." The home makes a lasting impression with decorative brickwork, half-timbering, steeply pitched symmetrical gables, leaded glass windows, and massive chimneys. Its form is most striking from above, where terraced gardens and mature trees blend seamlessly into the home's architecture, offering privacy, beauty, and a deep sense of permanence. More than 50 years after its construction, the Payne House's current owner undertook a thoughtful restoration. Key original features—hardwood flooring, hand-finished brickwork, and bespoke architectural details—were preserved. Modern upgrades include central air conditioning, forced-air gas heating, updated plumbing and electrical systems, and security. A restored vintage elevator provides convenient access across all levels of the home. The home includes 6 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. The primary suite features a vintage fireplace, mountain views, dual vanities, a jetted soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and a spacious closet. The kitchen pairs classic charm with modern function, with built-in appliances and a garden-view breakfast nook. The formal dining room features oversized windows that frame panoramic views of the Truckee River and Sierra foothills. A painted ceiling mural floats above the living and game room. Wood-burning and freestanding fireplaces add warmth and character throughout the home. Additional rooms include a library, office, bonus space, and a fully finished walk-out basement with its own recreation area and workshop. The finished basement opens to the yard and adds flexible space for hobbies, guests, or extra living. The 0.79-acre lot includes a custom stone wall along California Avenue, a private driveway, a detached two-car garage, and a playhouse designed to echo the main residence. A tranquil pond anchors the front yard, while the terraced backyard unfolds to a deck, patio, and a gazebo perched above the river—perfect for gatherings, balloon watching, or quiet river moments. Located about a mile from downtown Reno, the home offers convenient access to parks, schools, and cultural venues. The Newlands Historic District is known for its concentration of other historic homes, tree-lined streets, and a landscape shaped by the City Beautiful movement. The Payne House offers more than architectural beauty—it holds a story. From its distinguished origins to its careful restoration, this home reflects vision, character, and legacy. It's ready for its next era—and for someone who values history, design, and the timeless experience of living in a truly remarkable place.
