the benham house, designed by legendary nevada architect frederic joseph delongchamps, stands as one of reno’s treasured historic homes along iconic ridge street. built in 1930 in classic tudor revival style, the residence beautifully blends old-world craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates. a storybook living room anchored by a grand fireplace sets the tone for the home’s warm and inviting character, while updates to the kitchen, baths, hvac, electrical, and landscaping provide modern comfort throughout. outdoor living is equally special, with lush garden spaces and two inviting patios, a charming courtyard, and a private backyard retreat perfect for relaxing or entertaining. all of this is set in an unbeatable location just minutes from the truckee river, reno-tahoe international airport, and many of reno’s best restaurants and gathering spots, offering both historic charm and an exceptional lifestyle.
