The Gross House by A. Quincy Jones Hits the Market For $2.4M
Nestled in the hills above Brentwood in Los Angeles, California, the Gross house is a classic midcentury property designed by A. Quincy Jones. Built in 1951, the home was featured in the book A. Quincy Jones, Building for Better Living, and it also appeared in an issue of Sunset magazine.
Jones was known for creating "glamorous designs for the cultured elite" as well as projects for the postwar period's rapidly growing middle class. This 1093-square-foot classic post-and-beam home has been lovingly restored to its original splendor with thoughtful, period-appropriate details.
