Ellen DeGeneres Buys Brody House by way of. Quincy Jones

It’s been called from a mid century masterpiece on the best house in Los Angeles. For Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi the A. Quincy Jones-designed gem, generally known as “The Brody House”, is merely called home.

After pulling off a number of the biggest real estate investment deals of 2013, the celebrity couple have scored a young coup in 2014 when purchasing the pristine pad. Confirmed through the La Times, DeGeneres and de Rossi have reportedly paid $39.888 million with the 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 for the 13,511-square-foot floor plan, which includes six bedrooms, nine baths, a chef’s kitchen as well as a loungeserviced apartment for rent in HaNoi with a library.

ellen-degeneres-a-quincy-jones-brody-house-9Jones, whose works have become quite coveted in celebrity circles, designed the property in 1949 jointly with room decorator Billy Haines and landscaper Garrett Eckbo. The property first altered truly 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 are near it again may come as little surprise. The famous real estate addicts/amateur designers produced a few of the biggest celebrity property headlines in 2013 using a amount of deals. Together with buying 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.
