3257 Karen AVE Long Beach, CA 90808

A 2012 Long Beach Heritage Restoration/Preservation award winner, and one of the most meticulously updated homes in Rancho Estates. In a calm interior tract location behind period correct fencing that has been pushed to the perimeters, find a perfectly edited scene pulled straight from a vintage Sunset Magazine. A careful study of architect Cliff May's design led to a thoughtful pairing of restored vintage detailing and sophisticated modern finishes. Original window panels and doors open out to flawless landscapes and patios in all directions. This is the highly desired Lanai model, with a well executed bump out at the kitchen to create a glass walled nook for dining. A detached office / studio built in the far corner of the backyard was fashioned to look as if could have been built by May himself(not included in square footage calculation.) Newer roof with insulation, and recent forced air heat and central A/C. Nothing to do but move right in. It is a rare opportunity to see a Rancho home so completely and tastefully finished.
