Property Description

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an architectural masterpiece built by one of the icons of Midcentury design, A. Quincy Jones, FAIA. Built in 1938, the Quincy Jones Residence and Studio represents the architect’s first works, in which he collaborated with his newlywed partner Ruth Schneider, to design and build their first home together. Built across two lots and carefully blended along the native chaparral of Laurel Canyon, the 2,156-square-foot property was designed as a duplex and later converted into a multipurpose space. The couple continued to use one unit as their residence while the other became A.Q Jones’ creative office and architecture studio. The iconic property rests on a protected sanctuary filled with roaming deer, birds and other local wildlife. In the living room, 14-foot ceilings doors and windows frame unobstructed Downtown Los Angeles views. Below, two bedrooms, one office and two bathrooms - all controlled via independent dual zone HVAC systems. Today, the iconic structure is back to its original Duplex form and currently rents independently for a total of $17,000/month. Minutes from Hollywood, West Hollywood and Studio City. Buyer has the opportunity to purchase 4 additional lots for additional $1,200,000.00. Seller prefers to sale all together.
