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.
