The listing description explicitly identifies it as a project 'ready to be elevated' with a 'foundation for a thoughtful transformation,' indicating it needs a full rehab rather than minor repairs.
Middle School: Newcomb Academy (9/10).
As an authentic Cliff May Rancho, this property offers the highly sought-after mid-century modern aesthetic and open-concept flow that commands a premium among design enthusiasts.
The signature privacy wall, front courtyard, and wraparound yard create an exceptional foundation for the classic California lifestyle, maximizing the utility of the lot.
The mention of an original kitchen and a 'path to transformation' indicates the home requires substantial capital investment to modernize its interiors and systems.
At just 1,245 square feet for a three-bedroom home, the interior footprint is relatively compact, which may challenge buyers looking for more spacious living areas.
Welcome to 3026 Stevely, a true Cliff May Rancho with the kind of orientation and upside that rarely comes to market. Tucked behind a signature privacy wall and front courtyard, the setting immediately speaks to classic Rancho living—paired with a detached two-car garage. At approximately 1,245 square feet, the layout delivers the open flow and indoor-outdoor connection Cliff May is known for, all ready to be elevated with the right vision. The original kitchen and wraparound yard create the perfect foundation for a thoughtful transformation, while the existing primary suite, two guest bedrooms, and second bath keep the footprint intact. For those who understand the Ranchos, this is the play—authentic architecture, ideal positioning, and a clear path to something exceptional. Opportunities like this don’t come around often.
