Description

A rare and important residential work by A. Quincy Jones, FAIA, this architecturally significant Beverly Hills estate is a masterful expression of California Modernism. Situated on an exceptional street-to-street 1.2-acre parcel north of Sunset Boulevard, the property reflects Jones' enduring philosophy of harmony between structure, site, and landscapean increasingly scarce opportunity to acquire an intact and thoughtfully stewarded work by one of America's most influential modernist architects.Defined by strong horizontal lines, natural materials, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow, the residence retains a remarkable collection of original mid-century elements, including expansive floor-to-ceiling glass walls, terrazzo flooring, fieldstone accent walls, and a classic step-down bar, each emblematic of Jones' architectural language. Light-filled living and dining spaces unfold organically to multiple patios and gardens, creating a private and tranquil environment ideally suited to both everyday living and large-scale entertaining.The primary suite offers a serene retreat, complete with a fireplace, dedicated lounge area, and a spa-inspired bath, all opening directly to the lush, park-like grounds. The outdoor setting features a swimmer's pool, expansive lawn areas, and a north/south tennis court, framed by mature landscaping that enhances privacy and buffers the estate from its surroundings.Complementing the main residence is a two-unit guest house, designed in harmony with the original architecture, providing flexible accommodations for guests, staff, or creative use while honoring the integrity of Jones' original vision.Thoughtfully oriented and set back on its oversized parcel, the property benefits from architectural siting and landscaping strategies that prioritize light, openness, and calmhallmarks of Jones' workwhile offering a rare sense of scale and seclusion in one of Beverly Hills' most coveted residential enclaves.This is not merely a home, but a significant architectural artifactan opportunity to steward a legacy property that combines historic importance, architectural integrity, and enduring California modernism.
