1945 4th St

A midcentury low-rise co-op community in Sparks built in 1960, the property consists of single- and two-story walk-up buildings containing two-bedroom units arranged for owner-occupant senior living. Interiors typically feature practical midcentury layouts with entrance foyers, pantries, ceiling fans, and no interior steps in many units; many residences have been updated with newer carpet, vinyl plank flooring, double-pane windows, and modernized kitchens and baths. Exterior character is modest and garden-focused: mature trees, manicured grounds, a central courtyard and designated gardening plots create a park-like setting. Common facilities emphasize convenience and maintenance: on-site laundry, detached single-car garages for many units, nearby guest/overflow parking, and rain gutters; monthly co-op fees cover property taxes, water, sewer, trash, exterior maintenance, furnace and water heater upkeep, hazard insurance, landscaping and snow removal. Operationally this is a 55+ cooperative where ownership transfers by stock certificate, sales require board approval and background checks, and purchases are generally cash-only; the association enforces owner-occupancy and typically prohibits pets and rentals. Location advantages include proximity to shopping, bus routes, senior center and downtown Sparks, supporting a low-maintenance, community-oriented lifestyle.
