Property Description

Cliff May was a trailblazer in the field of residential design, and his works offer the desirable combination of privacy, openness, natural light, and connection to outdoor spaces. He was the master of the midcentury modern ranch home, and this newest offering, a sublime jewel located in the heart of the Rancho Estates, reflects why Cliff May’s designs are as popular today as they were in the 1950s. Great care went into the renovation of this home, which features restored original birch paneling with newer custom birch cabinetry, an island kitchen with breakfast bar seating for four, a coffee bar, walk-in pantry and laundry area, updated bathrooms with mosaic tile and custom birch vanities, and cork flooring. The home offers an impressive list of functional upgrades as well, including three-inch rigid foam roof insulation for improved energy efficiency, air conditioning, an upgraded electrical panel and newer electrical wiring, and newer stainless-steel appliances. The property features multiple patios, all accessible from adjacent living areas, and the lot is fully landscaped and includes avocado, lemon and orange trees. This exceptional home is located in the famed Rancho Estates of Long Beach, a Cliff May enclave characterized by tree-lined streets, midcentury modern architecture, and a strong sense of community. The Rancho Estates is bordered to the east and south by 800 acre El Dorado Park and Nature Center, which includes a connecting bike path to the beach.
