Perched high in the hills just outside the McCarran Loop, this charming single-story home offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, panoramic city and mountain views, and an expansive, usable 0.52-acre lot in unincorporated Sparks. With great potential and plenty of room to make it your own, this diamond in the rough is an exciting opportunity for investors or homeowners with a vision. Enjoy the freedom of no HOA and no restrictive CC & Rs. A two-car garage, two-space carport, and abundant additional parking provide plenty of room for RVs, boats, toy haulers, and other outdoor gear. Located just seconds from open land and miles of trails, the property offers easy access to hiking, motorcycles, and off-road adventures. Although the peaceful hillside setting above the Wildcreek area feels removed from the city, it is only minutes from freeways, shopping, dining, and everyday services, with convenient access to downtown Reno and USA Parkway. Opportunities in this tightly held neighborhood rarely come to market. Bring your ideas and come see the views, space and possibilities this unique property has to offer.
