More Insights

Built in 1953 (73 years old).
Condition: This Cliff May Rancho, built in 1953, is in 'Good' condition. While retaining its original mid-century charm with features like preserved birch accents, original colored tubs in pristine condition, and unique tile mosaics, it has benefited from significant recent updates. A new 50-year roof was installed in 2023, and the interior and exterior have fresh paint. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher, cooktop) and clean white cabinetry, alongside a well-maintained double oven and the distinctive mosaic backsplash. Bathrooms have modern vanities, sinks, and fixtures, complementing the preserved tubs. Polished concrete flooring throughout adds a contemporary touch. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, and major systems like the roof are within their expected lifespan due to recent updates. The only notable drawback is the absence of central air conditioning, but this does not detract from the overall well-maintained and updated status.

About this home

Welcome to 7147 Metz, a custom tailored Cliff May Rancho with subtle nods to mid-century tradition, blended effortlessly with personal touches throughout the decades. Making your way down the ideal tree lined street, turning into the 3 car driveway, it would be easy to think that past the mature kept landscaping, the detached two car garage and just inside the privacy gate lies just another Rancho... Once you make it into the private courtyard, the intrigue only builds. The details start to pop, the custom mid-century front doors and original Cliff May Corner give subtle hints as to what's ahead. Making your way inside, you're led in by polished concrete flooring and personally tailored touches that have been preserved since owners prior. The rare, pearlescent floor to ceiling blinds, the perfect use of the original pony wall, the perfectly preserved birch and of course, the trademark celestial natural light from above. Heading toward the kitchen, You'll notice the first of two skylights shining into the kitchen with added and much needed bumped out space, handmade tile mosaics which have been meticulously preserved from a previous owner as well as hanging lights to tie it all together. Heading to the guest bedrooms, the first hall bathroom maintains the original blue tub, in pristine condition, with tile and finishes to match the motif. The original Jack & Jill bedrooms have been rebuilt by hand with custom partitions between them. As you head toward the primary ensuite, the original closets have been restored inside with birch trim to match... Another custom handmade detail... Once you enter the primary, you'll notice the orientation gives way to ample natural light, paired perfectly with the primary bathrooms skylight, original pink tub and luxury amenities. After you've had a chance to take in the details inside, you may wonder, what else is there to know? For starters, the new 50 year roof put on in 2023 will help put your mind at ease, along with new interior and exterior paint throughout. A whole house water filtration is always a nice touch and to make things more convenient, the garage (also with 2 additional skylights) has its own hot water heater for laundry. With ideal outdoor spaces for entertaining and privacy alike, parking and storage, this is one of the coolest and complete Cliff May Ranchos you may see this year.
