The Rancho Estates of Long Beach is a celebrated enclave of mid-century modern architecture, and this exceptional Cliff May residence is a quintessential expression of the seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle that defines the neighborhood. Privately tucked behind a fenced front yard, this tranquil home offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a bright, open floor plan filled with natural light. The spacious great room features an island kitchen and breakfast nook, while both the living room and family room open directly to a private courtyard, creating an effortless connection between the interior and outdoor living spaces. A bonus room provides added flexibility for a home office, studio, or recreation space. Thoughtfully updated for contemporary living, the residence retains the architectural integrity and timeless charm of Cliff May's original design while incorporating modern conveniences, including updated appliances, central heating and air conditioning, and an interior laundry area. Offered unfurnished, the home will be available for occupancy at the beginning of August. The lease also includes a detached studio or office with electricity, providing an ideal workspace or creative retreat. Up to two cats and/or one dog will be considered. Off-street parking for two vehicles is available on the driveway (garage parking is not included). This is a rare opportunity to lease an authentic Cliff May home and experience one of Southern California's most iconic mid-century modern neighborhoods.
