Property is new construction or fully renovated.
This property is an exceptional example of a fully renovated mid-century modern home.

The kitchen is ultra-modern with premium Miele appliances and custom cabinetry, while the bathrooms have been upgraded with luxury features like radiant floor heating. With updated flooring, enhanced HVAC, a newer fireplace, and meticulously maintained grounds including a pool and automated gate, the property shows no signs of deferred maintenance and represents a turnkey, high-quality residence.
Middle School: Newcomb Academy (9/10).
As an authentic Cliff May mid-century modern home, the property offers significant collector value and timeless design appeal, characterized by its signature indoor-outdoor flow and post-and-beam construction.
Unlike many original models, this home has been thoughtfully expanded to 1,700 square feet and features high-end upgrades including radiant bathroom floor heating, a modern kitchen, and enhanced HVAC systems.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1673, other record living area = 1268.
The listing price of $1.698M represents a significant premium for a 3-bedroom home under 1,800 square feet, which may limit the buyer pool to specific mid-century enthusiasts.
While the pool and patio are excellent for entertaining, the 5,769 square foot lot is largely built out, leaving minimal traditional green space or lawn for pets and play.
Tucked away in a quiet interior location in the heart of the Rancho Estates, this exceptional Cliff May pool property is an oasis of serenity and modernity. Thoughtfully expanded by the current owners, the residence now spans nearly 1,700 square feet and features a spacious modern kitchen, upgraded bathrooms (with radiant floor heating in the primary bathroom), an enlarged living room with newer fireplace, updated flooring throughout, enhanced HVAC, and numerous additional improvements. The property is beautifully configured for entertainment and relaxation, with a privacy fence along the front of the property with automated driveway gate, abundant outdoor patio space, a detached garage with potential for either car parking or an ADU conversion, a large swimming pool, and lush tropical landscaping. Combining the timeless appeal of Cliff May’s iconic mid-century modern design with expanded living space, functional upgrades, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow, this property presents a rare and exceptional opportunity to experience the very best of Rancho Estates living.
