This stunning midcentury residence is nestled within the highly sought-after Rancho Estates"”a neighborhood celebrated for having the most cohesive and well-preserved collection of Cliff May-designed homes in the nation. Built in 1954 and fully renovated, this property is a standout example of the architectural movement that forever changed the Southern California landscape.
Widely regarded as the father of the California ranch house, Cliff May revolutionized residential architecture by creating homes that dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. This property honors that vision with a layout that flows effortlessly into multiple outdoor entertaining spaces. Set behind a striking privacy wall with stacked block, horizontal redwood, and a custom rolling driveway gate, the home opens to a series of beautifully designed outdoor areas"”each one tailored for relaxation, dining, or gathering with friends. Professionally landscaped and hardscaped with concrete patios, built-in planters, curated greenery, and low-voltage lighting, the exterior is both low-maintenance and magazine-worthy.
Inside, no detail has been overlooked in the complete renovation. The open-concept floor plan is anchored by wide-plank European white oak floors and features exposed beam ceilings, clerestory windows, and walls of glass that flood the home with natural light. The kitchen has been reimagined with sleek finishes, a breakfast bar, and seamless connection to the living and outdoor areas"”making entertaining feel effortless.
This is more than just a beautiful home"”it's a piece of architectural heritage that has been thoughtfully brought into the present. A rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready Cliff May in one of Long Beach's most beloved neighborhoods.
