Ellen DeGeneres Buys Brody House by way of a. Quincy Jones

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

After pulling off several of the biggest property deals of 2013, the celebrity couple have scored an early coup in 2014 when purchasing the pristine pad. Confirmed by the Los Angeles Times, DeGeneres and de Rossi have reportedly paid $39.888 million for that midcentury modern abode found right next door on the Playboy Mansion in Holmby Hills.

Just like “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 towards the 13,511-square-foot floor plan, that has six bedrooms, nine baths, a chef’s kitchen along with a living roomserviced apartment for rent in HaNoi with a library.

The property first exchanged 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 have reached it again provides little surprise. The famous property addicts/amateur designers produced some of the biggest celebrity real estate investment headlines in 2013 with a quantity of deals. Besides investing in 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.
