About 596 California Avenue
Rare opportunity to own a duplex in the highly sought-after Old Southwest Reno neighborhood along the iconic California Avenue corridor. Multi-family properties in this historic district are exceptionally scarce, with very few opportunities coming to market over the years, making this a true legacy asset. Ideally located just minutes from Midtown Reno, Downtown Reno, and the scenic Truckee River, the property offers unbeatable access to some of Reno's most vibrant dining, nightlife, and outdoor recreation. Enjoy walkability to local favorites like The Brewer's Cabinet and nearby coffee shops, boutiques, and parks. The property is move-in ready and features fresh interior paint throughout. The front unit lives like a single-family home, featuring its own private front and backyard, an increasingly rare amenity in this urban setting. The rear unit is thoughtfully separated and includes a private fenced patio, providing excellent privacy for tenants or guests. This versatile property is perfectly suited for an owner-occupant seeking supplemental income or an investor looking to secure a high-demand rental in one of Reno's most established and desirable neighborhoods. With limited multi-family inventory and strong rental appeal, this is a standout opportunity in a high-barrier-to-entry market.
