5 Distinctive Nevada Homes, from Reno Charm to Tahoe Mixed-Use

In the heart of Old Southwest Reno, this thoughtfully remodeled 1926 residence pairs historic character with modern ease. A covered front porch and custom steel entry door open to hickory wood floors, a classic wood-burning fireplace, and abundant natural light through energy-efficient Windsor windows, with recessed lighting and remote-controlled Hunter Douglas blinds throughout. At the center, the kitchen balances daily function and entertaining, featuring granite slab countertops, a glass tile backsplash, a full Viking appliance suite, custom maple cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting and soft-close drawers, an extra-deep stainless steel farmhouse sink, a large island with bar seating, and a spacious pantry. The 800-square-foot primary suite adds a walk-in closet with custom built-ins and a spa-style bath with a triple-head shower, Grohe fixtures, dual vanities, and a jetted soaking tub. A usable basement offers built-in storage, a home gym, and flexible living space. Outside, mature landscaping frames a paver patio, outdoor fireplace, dining area, hot tub, and a detached alley-access garage reimagined as a finished lounge and bar with mini-split climate control and a pass-through window—made for year-round indoor-outdoor living.

Within a gated, all single-story community in Las Vegas, this upgraded Toll Brothers residence balances everyday ease with thoughtful enhancements throughout. A recently added fifth bedroom and bath expands flexibility, while the remodeled primary bath and custom closet elevate the suite experience. The kitchen is designed for real use: new stainless appliances, granite counters, an island with seating, painted cabinets, and a butler pantry that keeps entertaining organized. Fresh carpet in three bedrooms and a teen room adds a soft, finished feel. Comfort meets efficiency with a tankless water heater, water softener, RO system, and whole-house filter. Outdoors, a heated saltwater pool and spa set the tone for weekends at home, complemented by a dog run with artificial grass. The three-car garage impresses with epoxy floors, built-in cabinets, overhead storage, and insulated, air-conditioned storage space.

In the heart of Incline Village, this mixed-use condo sits across from the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe, offering a rare blend of residential comfort and street-level opportunity. Upstairs, an updated modern space is centered by a fireplace, with the everyday ease of in-home laundry. Below, a commercial unit enjoys strong visibility at street level—ideal to operate yourself or lease out while keeping home life separate above. The setting places you near the area’s beaches, dining, and shops, so errands and evenings out can stay pleasantly local. It’s a layout designed for flexibility, where work and lifestyle can coexist without competing for the same square footage, letting your days shift naturally from business hours to relaxed lake-country routines.

Rising above Henderson’s foothills, Contour Persona introduces The Matteo and The Calista—two residences designed to frame sweeping Strip and mountain views within an exclusive enclave. The Matteo unfolds across two stories with five ensuite bedrooms, a loft with view deck, and expansive indoor-outdoor space anchored by a pool-sized yard. The Calista offers a nearly 3,900-square-foot single-story layout with four ensuite bedrooms, plus a private retreat featuring a sparkling new pool and dedicated entertainment area. Throughout both, 10+ foot ceilings and elevated finishes set a refined tone, while gourmet kitchens with Bertazzoni appliances support everyday cooking and easy hosting. Four-car garages with RV parking add uncommon practicality, and spa-inspired primary suites extend the sense of calm. Just moments from Heritage Park and the Water Street District, days here feel both connected and quietly removed.

From its elevated setting in Mesquite, this rare half-acre estate pairs a custom residence with an adjoining undeveloped parcel for unusual flexibility and privacy—without an HOA. Mountain and valley views frame the experience from the start, beginning at a gated courtyard and beveled-glass French doors. Inside, the open, light-filled layout is designed to maximize space and scenery, with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and plantation shutters throughout. The gourmet kitchen connects effortlessly to a wraparound balcony overlooking a resort-style pool and waterfall spa, lending the home an easy rhythm for entertaining or quiet evenings outdoors. Next door, the additional land invites possibilities: an RV garage, a private guest retreat, or a preserved buffer that keeps the setting serene. It’s a desert retreat that lives beautifully today while leaving room for what comes next.
