About this home

After World War II, most developers were building repetitive cookie cutter tract homes until visionary developer Ross Cortese introduced something different: a premium home that combined innovative design, quality construction, and seamless indoor outdoor living. Built in 1955 as part of his landmark Frematic Homes community, this authentic mid century residence showcases Cliff May inspired ranch architecture, signature post and beam construction, soaring vaulted ceilings, expansive walls of glass, and distinctive wood siding that complements its timeless architectural design. Offering approximately 1,736 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this home reflects the design philosophy that later inspired Cortese's renowned Rossmoor and Leisure World communities. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its architectural character, the home features a formal living room, formal dining room, and separate family room, creating comfortable spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. The beautifully remodeled kitchen offers custom self closing cabinetry and drawers, quartz countertops, brand new stainless steel appliances, and a large center island that flows seamlessly into the main living areas. The spacious primary suite includes a beautifully remodeled bathroom, while the second bathroom has also been tastefully updated. Recent improvements include a NEW ROOF, BRAND NEW CENTRAL AC, brand new tankless water heater, new flooring, recessed lighting, some new dual pane windows, new interior doors, central heating, and automatic sprinklers that help keep the landscaping l
