From the Agent: "This Cliff May–designed Rancho Estates home has been creatively expanded and highly upgraded. It’s situated on a larger than typical lot in a quiet interior location of the tract. A concrete block wall and a planter with a screen of olive trees make for an attractive street presence. An uncommonly spacious and newer-built two-car garage has been placed at the front of the 1,568-square-foot home, freeing up the original detached garage as an additional nearly 400 SF studio/office (which has not been not included in the square footage measure.) Beyond the wall and gate, May’s idealized version of the California ranch home flourishes. The home is located in close proximity to the spectacular 800-acre El Dorado Park and nature preserve, as well as to the San Gabriel River path and Seal Beach."
