Shaded by the canopy of several mature California Sycamore trees, an extraordinarily authentic and clean Cliff May designed Rancho Estates home. Well sited and private, an attached two car garage and cinderblock wall fronts the street facing. With no neighboring homes behind, the property presents as much larger than its measurements would indicate. Signature window walls and doors are all intact, as is the rich original Birch paneling. Original cabinetry was retained wherever possible, and the pale yellow Western Holly gas cooktop and oven remain in place. A new Quartz countertop has been laid atop the island, with original butcher block countertop and yellow formica backsplash still surrounding the range. An atypical VCT tile has been laid as flooring. Additional updates include new forced air heating unit, updated electrical panel, new counter depth Haier refrigerator, dishwasher, and fresh paint inside and out. Post and beam construction, open floor plan, and vast walls of glass showcase the great success in May's design of the modern ranch home. In close proximity to the spectacular 800 acre El Dorado Park and nature preserve, as well as the San Gabriel River path. Tree lined streets, excellent schools, and a sense of community that rivals just about any in the city.
