Step into a piece of California architectural history with this Cliff May-designed Rancho home in the heart of Long Beach. Known as the father of the California Ranch home, Cliff May created homes celebrated for their seamless indoor-outdoor living, open-beam design, and connection to the Southern California lifestyle—and this home is a wonderful opportunity to carry that vision forward. Tucked away on a desirable inside tract location, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features a spacious west-facing enclosed front yard, creating a private outdoor retreat perfect for entertaining, relaxing, gardening, or enjoying Long Beach sunsets. A wall of windows from the dining area overlooks the enclosed front yard, bringing in beautiful natural light and enhancing the home’s signature indoor-outdoor feel. One side of the original two-car garage has been thoughtfully converted into a dining area complete with built-ins, adding flexibility and character to the space. Inside, the home has been freshly painted and offers a clean canvas ready for your personal style and updates. The living room is anchored by a cozy fireplace, while the kitchen features built-ins that blend functionality with classic Cliff May charm. One of the home’s most distinctive architectural features is the unique “double roof” design, created to provide additional insulation and energy efficiency without compromising the dramatic open-beam ceilings and iconic Rancho aesthetic. The primary suite features French doors opening to the private front patio, while the middle bedroom includes sliding doors leading to the rear patio—further embracing the Rancho lifestyle and seamless connection to outdoor living spaces. Additional features include central heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort, an ideal floor plan, and the timeless appeal that makes Cliff May Rancho homes so sought after. Whether you are a mid-century modern enthusiast, architecture lover, or buyer looking to create your dream home, this is a rare opportunity to own an iconic piece of Long Beach history and make it your own.
