It’s rare to find a home that respects the past without being haunted by old plumbing. If you’re tired of the “grey-on-grey” HGTV flips that strip away every ounce of character, 1020 Sweeney in the historic Huntridge neighborhood is the antidote you’ve been looking for.
Here is why this property is a standout for anyone looking for vintage Vegas charm with modern structural integrity.
Most “renovated” homes in this price point get a fresh coat of paint and some cheap vinyl flooring. This home, however, was totally rebuilt from the ground up. The owner didn’t just mask the old issues; they solved them:
The Foundation: The entire concrete slab was replaced.
The Vitals: New sewer lines, water supply lines, and a completely updated electrical panel and wiring.
Efficiency: Fully insulated walls and attic, dual-pane windows, and ceiling fans to keep those Vegas utility bills in check.
The goal here wasn’t to modernize the home into oblivion—it was to restore its soul. You get the best of both worlds:
The Kitchen: Re-created to honor the original aesthetic while functioning like a dream.
The Bathroom: A stunning preservation of the iconic “piano tub” paired with meticulously recreated tile surrounds.
Flex Space: A versatile room off the kitchen offers extra storage or a perfect home office.
The seller’s passion for landscaping is evident the moment you step outside. It’s a private sanctuary featuring:
A massive covered patio deck made for lounging.
Lush greenery, including mature trees, shrubs, and palms.
The “Bonus” Building: A rare brick outbuilding equipped with power, windows, and its own covered patio. It’s the ultimate setup for a studio, workshop, or “she-shed.”
The Bottom Line: Huntridge was originally built for affordability, and it remains one of the most accessible ways to own a piece of Las Vegas history. But 1020 Sweeney is a rarity—a home that has been lovingly “re-created” rather than just “flipped.”
