5700 Nordend Way, Reno, NV 89511

Property Description

You know exactly what you need to be happy. You've learned that more house often means more maintenance, more stairs, and rooms no one ever goes into. The better luxury is a home that fits the way you live now: single-story, newer construction, manageable square footage, and close enough to walk to the club without feeling like you live in its parking lot. Oh, and "manageable square footage" doesn't mean privacy and airspace have ceased to matter; you don't want to sip cocktails looking at a brick wall, and never want to see your guests on their way to the bathroom or hear your neighbors playing Hand and Foot.***With this Montreux Chalet, you can remain blissfully ignorant of all that. It may take time (unless you're already a Montreuvian) to appreciate the enormous practical benefits of living within Montreux's coveted "inner circle": 90 seconds from the gate by car and six minutes to the clubhouse on foot. (The only dedicated walking path in the community is just steps away, too.) You won't know how the eastern orientation of this outdoor dining room keeps it calm and usable during Reno's fiercely windy summer afternoons—until you're chasing napkins around a friend's backyard one happy hour and realize, "This never happens at my house." It's below the tree line for added sunlight, sky, and wildfire safety, which you'll appreciate and then forget. But the privacy and quiet of having a meadow behind you, a brand-new (2025) kitchen, a view of Mt. Rose from the office, and a battery backup generator that seamlessly switches from the grid in milliseconds (you won't even have to reset the clocks) will be immediately apparent. And if golf is more a personality than a pastime for you, this home offers something that will make your golf geek grin: a dedicated simulator room where your swing can be honed, repaired, obsessed over, or entirely ruined in private, 365 days a year. Keep it and play any of two thousand of the world's most famous courses, no matter what the weather, or convert it to fitness, media, dining, workspace, or whatever else your life requires. There's a golf membership (see the offer guidelines in the documents section of the listing) and cart, too, so the full club lifestyle can commence as soon as the moving van pulls away.***Luxury house-hunting shouldn't be an endurance test. It took years of experience to know that satisfaction lies in having just what you need and nothing you don't. So how is it possible that—after all this—you must wrestle with the absurdly binary dilemma of choosing between living in a tract house with eight-hundred-dollar monthly HOA fees, or a 1993 ersatz villa with a daylight basement and a turret? Walk through these properly scaled, crisply architectural rooms, where the alpine landscape is never entirely outside. If you want to be closer still, sit in the sheltered outdoor dining room watching the squirrels watch you back. And feel your hesitation begin to crumble.
