Professional Photos will be added on 6.13.2025.Tucked away beneath a canopy of majestic oak trees in the serene enclave of The Oaks in Santa Paula, this 1950s Cliff May-designed gem is a rare opportunity for lovers of mid-century modern architecture. Sitting on a generous 13,503 square foot lot, the 2,347 square foot residence embodies the spirit of California ranch-style living, offering both character and promise for the particular buyer ready to bring it back to life.A sweeping circular driveway invites you onto the property, framed by mature landscaping and the signature low-pitched rooflines that made Cliff May a household name. The home's facade, with its clean horizontal lines, expansive windows, and deep overhangs, hints at the architectural pedigree within. The home is owned by the trust of local artist, Helen Gallio. Her private art studio is attached.Inside, the layout centers around a spacious great room with original wood-beamed ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass that blurs the boundary between indoors and out--one of May's hallmark design features. Natural light floods the space, casting soft shadows on the aged interior, now yearning for a gentle revival. The open-concept flow from the great room to the dining area and kitchen creates an ideal canvas for modern updates while honoring the home's historic charm.The home offers three bedrooms, two original bathrooms with period tile, and an expansion area or great room. A two-car garage and ample outdoor space provide endless potential.While the house needs renovation, the bones are strong, the design is iconic, and the location is unbeatable. In a neighborhood rich with history and natural beauty, this Cliff May classic is ready to be reimagined--an opportunity to craft your dream home while preserving a piece of California's architectural heritage.
