Welcome to the Cliff May House, in the heart of Kensington. Significant both as the first home built for the noted architect's own family and as an early expression of the California Rancheria style that would become his legacy, this residence reflects May's skillful merging of traditional Spanish hacienda architecture with modern ideals of functional elegance. New owners of this historically designated property with Mills Act in place will inherit an architectural gem, along with the benefit of reduced property taxes. Approaching the home, notice how seamlessly it integrates with the landscape and take in the decorative tile encircling the doorbell and colorful window grill (signature May touches). Step through the inviting Dutch door through the corredor and find yourself in a picturesque, private world that blurs the line between indoors and out. Mindful of arranging large windows and doors to capture vistas, the home wraps itself around a stunning interior courtyard anchored by a majestic olive tree (another May element). Once inside, find expansive and comfortable living spaces filled with original elements of design including a sculpted “beehive” fireplace, terracotta tile floors, wall niches, original light fixtures, notched & scalloped wood paneling, and open beam ceiling
