The Rancho Estates of Long Beach is renowned for being the best maintained tract of Cliff May designed homes in the country, and this exceptional residence is a prime example of why. Built in 1954 and located in a quiet interior location within the neighborhood, the property sits behind a masterfully designed privacy wall with stacked block, Brazilian ipe, built-in planters and an electronic gate. Once inside the entrance gate, the design continues with multiple concrete patios bordered by professional landscaping. Cliff May designed for indoor/outdoor living, and this home exemplifies this residential design philosophy. The interior of the home is equally pleasing and features European white oak flooring, an open and bright kitchen with breakfast bar, open beam ceilings and clerestory windows. The unique meld of midcentury modernism and western ranch house design marked a historic new direction for residential architecture in the 1950s, and it’s no wonder that the world has recognized these unique and special homes. Here is an opportunity to make one yours.
