Los Feliz Cliff May California Ranch House
2337 N VERMONT AVE, LOS ANGELES | $3,785,000 | 5BD | 4 BA
It’s been a moment since we’ve seen a Cliff May house hit the market. Known as the father of the California Ranch House, he was said to have designed over 1,000 custom homes for Southern CA residents. Many of these historic homes have become the epitome of the California life style. Smack dab in one of our favorite neighborhoods, Los Feliz, sits this renovated architectural “v” style layout home. Just in time for Summer.

Step into this remarkable 1951 Cliff May “California Ranch,” where iconic mid-century design is seamlessly blended with modern elegance. Thoughtfully renovated to preserve its architectural legacy while enhancing livability, this single-level retreat offers exceptional privacy and effortless indoor-outdoor flow.

Set in a distinctive “V” configuration, the home welcomes you with a gated entry, lush landscaping, and a swimming pool that feels organically integrated into the layout. Over the past decade, extensive updates have elevated the home’s style and comfort, including a reimagined open-concept kitchen, restored original built-ins, and a luxurious primary suite featuring custom closets and a spa-inspired bath.
Elegant terrazzo flooring and Fleetwood sliding glass doors create a harmonious connection between interior and exterior spaces. Lompoc stone hardscaping and a finished garage add to the home’s beauty and utility. With five bedrooms—including a spacious primary suite—and 3.5 baths, the home perfectly balances function and refined style.
The kitchen and dining area flow effortlessly into a step-down living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, creating a cozy and inviting space to gather. Ideal for entertaining, the outdoor areas unfold naturally from the interior, offering mature trees, lush greenery, and serene seclusion.
Perched above Vermont Avenue in the heart of Los Feliz, this rare offering is just moments from the Greek Theatre and the neighborhood’s beloved cafés and restaurants. A true architectural gem—thoughtfully reimagined for contemporary living. Los Feliz Cliff May California Ranch House.
