Nestled in a quiet interior location within the famed Rancho Estates of Long Beach is this midcentury modern gem – 3343 Roxanne Avenue. Originally built in 1953, this home was designed by renowned architect Cliff May, one of the most influential residential designers of the 20th Century. The property takes full advantage of the lot, with a private fenced front area with firepit and landscape design by talented designer Dustin Gimbel, and a spacious backyard with lawn and patio areas. The interior of the home is pristine and awash in natural light, and features an open island kitchen with breakfast bar, custom windows and doors by master carpenter Steve Marderosian, a separate laundry area, an expanded primary bedroom with added closet space, and updated bathrooms. The temperature controlled detached garage was originally designed to house two cars and can do so again, and is presently configured with a single vehicle door and functions as a studio space. The property also features a wholly-owned solar power production system. The Rancho Estates sits next to El Dorado Park and Nature Center, with over 800 acres of fields, lakes, streams, and paths. The neighborhood also sits next to the San Gabriel river bike path, with direct access to Seal Beach (an approximate 5.5 mile ride).
