Ellen DeGeneres Buys Brody House by A. Quincy Jones

It’s been called everything from a mid century masterpiece towards the best house in Chicago. For Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi the A. Quincy Jones-designed gem, often known as “The Brody House”, is actually called home.

After pulling off many of the biggest real property deals of 2013, the celebrity couple have scored an early coup in 2014 by purchasing the pristine pad. Confirmed from the La Times, DeGeneres and de Rossi have reportedly paid $39.888 million for your midcentury modern abode found right next door towards the Playboy Mansion in Holmby Hills.

Comparable to “The Andrew Fuller House” in Dallas, the trophy home sports a shapely design with smooth-walled interiors, spotless finishes, a close look-opening atrium and beautifully manicured grounds. Walls of glass and vaulted ceilings add an expansive feel to the 13,511-square-foot floor plan, that's six bedrooms, nine baths, a chef’s kitchen plus a family areaserviced apartment for rent in HaNoi having a library.

ellen-degeneres-a-quincy-jones-brody-house-9Jones, whose works have grown to be quite coveted in celebrity circles, designed the property in 1949 jointly with interior designer Billy Haines and landscape gardener Garrett Eckbo. Your house first replaced in 2010 for $14.888 million and was restored by designer Stephen Stone before being flipped on the trophy home-collecting DeGeneres.

That DeGeneres and de Rossi have it again has come about as little surprise. The famous real-estate addicts/amateur designers produced many of the biggest celebrity real estate property headlines in 2013 using a quantity of deals. Besides getting a dreamy estate in Montecito in May for $26.5 million, the duo pocketed $10.85 million over a serviced apartment for rent in HaNoi Hidden Valley, CA, a dreamy ranch that DeGeneres herself reimagined.
