Ellen DeGeneres Buys Brody House by A. Quincy Jones

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

After pulling off a number of the biggest real estate investment deals of 2013, the celebrity couple have scored an earlier coup in 2014 when purchasing the pristine pad. Confirmed with the Chicago Times, DeGeneres and de Rossi have reportedly paid $39.888 million for the midcentury modern abode found right on the doorstep towards Playboy Mansion in Holmby Hills.

Much like “The Andrew Fuller House” in Dallas, the trophy home sports a shapely design with smooth-walled interiors, spotless finishes, a close watch-opening atrium and beautifully manicured grounds. Walls of glass and vaulted ceilings add an expansive feel towards the 13,511-square-foot floor plan, containing six bedrooms, nine baths, a chef’s kitchen and also a lounge roomserviced apartment for rent in HaNoi using a library.

The home first changed hands this year for $14.888 million and was restored by designer Stephen Stone before being flipped to the trophy home-collecting DeGeneres.

That DeGeneres and de Rossi have reached it again may come as little surprise. The famous real-estate addicts/amateur designers produced a number of the biggest celebrity real property headlines in 2013 having a amount of deals. As well as choosing a dreamy estate in Montecito in May for $26.5 million, the duo pocketed $10.85 million on a serviced apartment for rent in HaNoi Hidden Valley, CA, a dreamy ranch that DeGeneres herself reimagined.
