About This Home
As of April 2023At 3356 Lees Ave- a Cliff May designed 1953 Rancho Estates home that has been creatively expanded and highly upgraded. Situated on a larger than typical lot in a quiet interior location of the tract. A grid of concrete block wall and 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 SF 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. Signature window walls and patio doors seamlessly connect the indoors and out, with a manicured screening of bamboo to insure privacy for both home and surrounding patios. Inside the home, an unusually expansive living area was created when a butterfly roofed and skylit rear addition was built- making space for a relocated open plan kitchen and second fireplace at the rear of the property. In the kitchen- well organized alderwood cabinetry and marble countertops surround professional grade Wolf appliances and Sub Zero fridge. Finished concrete flooring is utilized throughout the home and at the detached studio. Both primary and guest bathrooms have been updated with sleek contemporary finishes. The home's system upgrades are numerous: owned solar panels with Tesla home backup battery, newer HVAC, 200 amp panel, tankless water heater, 1.5" roof insulation, drip irrigation, and more. 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 its direct access to Seal Beach. Tree lined streets, excellent schools, and a sense of community that rivals just about any in the city.
