Tucked into one of Reno’s most iconic and established neighborhoods, 1825 Manzanita Circle is a rare architectural offering that seamlessly blends legacy design with modern innovation. Located in the highly sought-after Old Southwest Reno corridor, this fully reimagined luxury residence delivers a level of craftsmanship, energy efficiency, and lifestyle-driven design that is nearly impossible to replicate in today’s market.
Originally designed in the 1970s by a renowned Northern Nevada architect, the home carries a rich design pedigree—but it’s the 2017 full-scale renovation that truly sets this property apart. Nearly every surface, system, and structural element was rebuilt, resulting in a home that lives like new construction while preserving its original architectural soul.
A Study in Elevated Design + Local Craftsmanship
Every detail inside this home tells a story—one rooted in Northern Nevada’s design heritage and elevated through modern execution.
From the moment you enter, you’re met with dramatic barnwood ceiling beams, rich textures, and a warm, grounded palette that feels both sophisticated and inviting. The living spaces are anchored by walnut slab feature walls and a custom mantle, creating a bold yet timeless focal point.
The kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring custom metal-and-wood cabinetry, thoughtfully designed for both function and visual impact. Throughout the home, you’ll find artisan-crafted elements sourced from some of the region’s most respected makers:
- Reclaimed wood interior doors from the Tahoe Queen dock in South Lake Tahoe
- Custom cabinetry fabricated in Truckee, California
- Handcrafted walnut features built in Minden, Nevada
Even the textures have been curated, with interior stucco finishes adding depth and architectural character rarely seen in modern renovations.
Built for Lifestyle: Entertaining, Working, and Living
This home was designed not just to be admired—but to be lived in.
A standout feature is the private media room with a functioning vault door, creating a one-of-a-kind entertainment experience. Whether hosting movie nights or creating a secure retreat, this space is both functional and unforgettable.
The home also offers:
- A dedicated office with built-in cabinetry—ideal for today’s work-from-home lifestyle
- A glass-enclosed wine storage room—perfect for collectors and entertainers
- Multiple fireplaces that create warmth and ambiance throughout
Every space has been intentionally designed to balance luxury with livability.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living in Old Southwest Reno
Set on a beautifully designed homesite, the outdoor spaces are just as compelling as the interior.
The grounds were professionally designed by Artistic Gardens of Reno, featuring:
- Terraced boulder retaining walls
- Lush garden beds and a rose garden
- Mature fruit trees
- Multiple paver seating areas and gathering spaces
- A stunning outdoor fireplace for year-round enjoyment
A large composite deck extends the living space outdoors, creating the perfect setting for entertaining or quiet evenings under the Reno sky.
Additionally, the property offers rare RV parking access from Manzanita Lane—an increasingly valuable feature in this central location.
Smart, Sustainable, and Energy-Efficient Living
Beyond its design, this home is built for the future.
Energy efficiency and smart-home integration have been thoughtfully implemented, including:
- Geothermal heating system with natural gas backup
- Foam-board exterior insulation (2018) for enhanced thermal performance
- Three-zone air conditioning system (2022)
- New geothermal pump installed in 2022
Smart-home features include:
- Remote-operated thermostats
- Integrated smart lighting controls
- Garage doors with vehicle-sensing automation
This combination of sustainability and technology offers both comfort and long-term cost efficiency—an increasingly important factor for today’s luxury buyers.
Why 1825 Manzanita Circle Stands Out
In a market where many luxury homes offer surface-level upgrades, 1825 Manzanita Circle delivers something far more meaningful:
✔ Architectural integrity
✔ Full-scale renovation (not cosmetic)
✔ Locally sourced, artisan craftsmanship
✔ Advanced energy systems
✔ A true lifestyle property in one of Reno’s most desirable neighborhoods
This is a home that speaks to buyers who value design, quality, and long-term livability.
