Description
3208 N Studebaker Rd presents a rare opportunity to own and restore an authentic Cliff May mid-century modern California Ranch home in Long Beach's celebrated Rancho Estates. Built in 1953 and offered in remarkably original condition, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence features approximately 1,130 sq. ft. of living space and offers the next owner the opportunity to preserve, thoughtfully restore, or reimagine an important piece of Southern California architectural history. Rancho Estates was designed by renowned architectural designer Cliff May in collaboration with Chris Choate and developed by Ross W. Cortese, becoming one of May's most recognized residential tract developments. Ideally located near Cubberley K-8 and Millikan High School, the property is just moments from El Dorado East Regional Park, El Dorado Nature Center, the San Gabriel River recreational corridor, and miles of nearby trails and open space. Convenient access to the 405 and 605 freeways provides easy connectivity throughout Long Beach, Orange County, and greater Los Angeles, while nearby destinations include CSULB, Long Beach Airport, Belmont Shore, and the Long Beach waterfront. A distinctive opportunity for mid-century enthusiasts, preservationists, or buyers seeking an architecturally significant home with tremendous potential in one of Long Beach's most recognizable neighborhoods.
