Laurel Canyon Architectural Masterpiece by A. Quincy Jones | 2362 Stanley Hills Dr.

This extraordinary residence, the first commissioned home by the renowned architect A. Quincy Jones, presents a rare opportunity to inhabit a living masterpiece of Hollywood’s rich architectural legacy. A sublime embodiment of mid-century modernism, the property showcases Jones’s visionary talent, seamlessly blending early modernist principles with the natural landscape. Elevated and immersive, its design evokes the serenity of a refined treehouse, offering a harmonious union of innovation, elegance, and nature.

Backing onto a protected wildlife sanctuary, the property boasts sweeping greenbelt views from every room, creating a tranquil retreat amidst the vibrancy of Los Angeles. The living room has high beamed ceilings, elegant wood floors throughout, and a jaw-dropping round picture window reminiscent of a ship’s porthole.

The multi-level floor plan seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings, featuring expansive windows and sliding glass doors that blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living.

Jones’s innovative use of steel, concrete, and glass achieves a sense of openness and light, while the minimalist lines and geometric forms exemplify a groundbreaking modern aesthetic.

The formal dining room features built-in glass display cases and treetop views.

The classic kitchen is simple and stylish with cedar cabinets, backyard views from the oversized farm house sink, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances including a Viking range.

The first of three bedrooms, this lovely suite has a stunning brick fireplace that is original to the home.

Each of the two bathrooms feature ample storage and closet space.

The primary bedroom offers the ultime retreat with its one-of-a-kind vaulted ceiling.

Enveloping its lucky next owner, the room also has a row of windows for great feng shui, another example of Jones’s brilliant way of bringing the verdant outdoors in.

The bathrooms are vintage chic with timeless appeal.

The third bedroom/office has walls of slightly slanted windows, further accentuating the home’s vessel-like atmosphere. Sharp lines like these would go on to become one of Jones’s signature hallmarks.

The property’s dreamy outdoor spaces include multiple terraces shaded by old growth trees.

This dreamy backyard is wonderfully private, concealed perfectly by the aforementioned wildlife sanctuary. These outdoor areas offers ample space for al fresco dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the serene natural environment.

Modern comforts such as dual-zone HVAC, two wood-burning fireplaces, and a spacious basement for additional storage enhance the home’s livability.

This quintessential mid-century modern classic is perhaps A. Quincy Jones’s first masterpiece. Located in the heart of Laurel Canyon, an iconic cultural enclave celebrated for its rich artistic heritage, the home is just moments from the Canyon Country Store, Hollywood, West Hollywood, and Studio City. This is a rare opportunity to own an architectural landmark that embodies the pioneering history and unique spirit of Los Angeles.
