It is rare and wonderful to find a Cliff May “lanai model” in its original architectural form, and here is one that offers not only the charm of this particular design, but also 21st Century comforts. This pristine residence sits behind a privacy fence with rolling driveway gate that takes full advantage of the lot for private enjoyment, capturing a large front yard with lawn and patio (and plenty of room for a pool if so desired). The open island kitchen and living room blend seamlessly and are awash in natural light from Cliff May style doors and floor-to-ceiling windows that flank the living area. Adding to the appeal of this property is its quiet location within a sought-after neighborhood, the Rancho Estates of Long Beach, renowned for its midcentury modern architecture, tree-lined streets, strong sense of community, safety, and proximity to 800 acre El Dorado Park and Nature Center.

Welcome to 3030 Kallin, a recently expanded and beautifully remastered 1,400 square foot Cliff May Rancho. From first impression, the period correct newly crafted birch kitchen cabinetry and oversized island create a sense of warmth and sophistication alike. Right beyond your main living space and wood burning fireplace, there’s a good chance you’ll end up admiring the newly added second living room which flows into the freshly landscaped custom backyard. Every Cliff May home has their own unique flow and with access to the many new hardscape patios from nearly every room, there’s not a room that feels out of place. This Rancho has been handcrafted all the way from the new plumbing beneath the slab, to the custom landscaping and hand picked color pallets which carry inside out. Most days, you won’t need to use the newly added thoughtful mid-century lighting, but for those evenings tucked away behind your privacy wall, every space has been carefully lit to maximize the appropriate mood. As a testament to the detail, every original window, if not newly fabricated to match originals, has been fitted with upgraded Low E dual paned glass panels which brings energy efficiency into play. Behind the custom built privacy gate, your ample parking follows along the generous driveway running the entire length of the home, you may feel inclined to accompany your laundry area with an office or possibly even a workout room. With no stone left unturned and a warmth to compliment the brand new polished concrete flooring, this Cliff May is truly impressive and we welcome you to take a look before it’s claimed by the lucky new owner.

Welcome to 3159 Roxanne Avenue. For those in search of a completely reimagined, yet tastefully designed Cliff May Rancho, look no further. Not only is the block location central and ideal, but the privacy hedge coupled with the detached up front two car garage give this Rancho some sought after features even from the curb. Making your way inside the gates, you’ll notice the front courtyard which could also double as a spot for a new pool, leading right to the brand new front door. Upon entry, you’ll notice the custom paint colors picked by the actual Rancho neighbors carrying from the exterior inwards, making sure that every detail has been carefully envisioned. Just inside that new front door is a custom handmade Birch kitchen with quartz countertops, an undermount ceramic matte finish sink and brand new stainless steel appliances. As you head towards the Jack and Jill bedrooms (with intact Jack and Jill original closets), past the controls for your central AC, you can’t help but get drawn into the brand new custom guest bathroom with handpicked concrete tile flooring and soft earth tone shower tile finishes. Heading into the primary suite, the closet has been built out to accommodate clothing for more than just one person… The primary en suite bathroom, which also has custom concrete tile finishes, exudes natural light from the exterior window leading to the additional private backyard. The newly poured, hardscaped central patio flowing from the main living space and primary suite, tie everything together with a simple and elegant touch for entertaining. To say this home has been rebuilt from the frame up is an understatement. The entire home’s plumbing has been replaced and excavated in its entirety, making this the Cliff May Rancho for those who just need keys and some furniture.

Welcome to 3112 Roxanne, a uniquely spacious and desirable Rancho in the heart of the Cliff May Tract. With nearly 1,700 square feet of living space, and a tastefully kept Mid-Century kitchen to match, not many of these homes can boast about so much space nor storage. Having been bumped out in the mid 1960’s with the same soul of an original Cliff May Rancho, you’ll notice from the second you enter how mindful the additional square footage has been tied into the original floorpan. Upon entry you’ll notice the guest bedroom which doubles as a potential office to your right. Drawn towards the first of two living rooms on your left, your eye is taken down the oversized galley kitchen with original, yet pristine, birch cabinetry throughout. Passing through the front living room, your attention is instantly drawn upwards to notice the partition walls and intricate beam work which adjoins the old footprint to the new. Making your way into the second living room with the original wood burning fireplace, you’ll notice the three brand new sky lights to add onto the already naturally lit celestial windows along the entire line of the living space. Although this was originally a four bedroom Rancho with three full bathrooms, what you now have is an expansive three bedroom, two bathroom home with a full indoor laundry room and an oversized guest bathroom which ties in the front guest bedroom to the rest of the home. Making your way into the back courtyard, your eye is instantly drawn to your private Mid Century kidney shaped pool, tucked away behind the primary bedroom. With a brand new oversized custom primary bathroom, brand new roof, fresh paint and recently renovated fence, this may be one of the most spacious and unique Cliff May homes you’ll have a chance to see this year.

Designed by influential architect Cliff May and built in 1954, this residence was recently refurbished by its architect and designer owners, who drew upon their experience and talents to create a calming palette inspired by their midcentury art. Anchoring the interior throughout is a light-toned Italian terrazzo tile floor balanced with rich custom birch cabinetry, dark trim to highlight the midcentury modern post-and-beam architecture, and white walls and ceilings to reflect natural light from the original Cliff May designed floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors. The open island kitchen is the centerpiece of the home and features a striking combination of birch and matte black finish custom cabinetry with soft close hardware, Fisher & Paykel appliances including built-in refrigerator, 36″ wide 5-burner gas range, dishwasher with double drawers, quartz countertop and Blanco Quatrus under-mount sink. And the attention to detail did not stop at the thresholds as the living areas connect to three separate outdoor spaces that have been thoughtfully curated for serenity, beauty and function.

Sheltered behind a privacy fence of clear heart redwood and the canopy of a mature Palo Verde tree- find this well updated example of architect Cliff May’s 1954 Rancho Estates home. Floor to ceiling windows and polished concrete floors create a seamless transition between indoors and out, making the home feel much larger than its measurements would indicate. A skylit and open plan kitchen of custom walnut cabinetry topped with Caesarstone is at its center, with a large island workspace. The rich walnut seen here is utilized elsewhere as paneling and built-in storage to great effect. Jack and Jill guest bedrooms feature May’s signature window walls, obscure glass panels, and clerestory windows to invite natural light into every corner. Both bathrooms have seen sophisticated renovations- with Carrerra marble tile at the guest bath and a glass tile in the primary bath chosen to complement the original terrazzo shower pan. The primary bedroom, living room, and dining area all feature window walls that open directly to the patios and gardens, expanding living spaces outward. The surrounding gardens and landscape provide areas of sun and shade, as well as places for entertaining and outdoor dining. A raised Ipe deck encompasses a fire pit to create a central gathering place. The detached two car garage is well situated at the front of the property, fortifying the classic mid-century modern compound. Located in close proximity to the spectacular 800 acre El Dorado Park and nature preserve, as well as to the San Gabriel River path and its direct access to Seal Beach. Tree lined streets, excellent schools, and a sense of community that rivals just about any in the city.
