## Description

### Agent Description
In 1907 this luxurious Riverfront estate was built "ON THE BLUFFS" in the heart of Reno. It is known as one of Reno's most significant Historic Estates and is presented as an institutional grade Legacy property. The Mansion's scale, layout, and architectural gravitas lends itself to naturally be used as a family office headquarters, private foundation, flagship professional office or hybrid live/work estate, while still offering the option of an extraordinary private residence. Set above the Truckee River on over two acres, the Estate offers more than 17,000 square feet across four elevator-served levels, meticulously restored to preserve its architectural integrity while displaying panoramic and stunning views of Downtown Reno, Peavine Mountains and the North Valleys. With documented provenance, East Coast-inspired design, and irreplaceable riverfront land within the city core, the Nixon Mansion stands apart as a true Legacy asset rather than a conventional residential offering. Parking solutions, including valet and motor court configurations, are available.
