Mid-Century Time Capsule Listed For The First Time In 60 Years

LOS ANGELES, CA — In all of Los Angeles, you'd b hard-pressed to find a more perfectly preserved Mid-Century classic. Built on 1950, Brentwood's Grant House hit the market this month for the first time in almost 60s years. The original details of the A. Quincy Jone design are perfectly preserved, and it's not likely this masterpiece will sit on the market for long.

"It's literally a time capsule home, and the owners have taken such good care of it," listing agent Max Nelson of The Agency told Realtor.com. "It's one of the architect's typical, well-programmed homes with a step-down living room, clerestory windows, post and beam construction, walls of glass, and extensive use of his signature pop-out cinder blocks."

Listed at $2,450,000, the home is priced lower than the neighborhood average. After its owners of the past 60 years passed away, their children placed it on the market. It offers three bedrooms and two bathromms spread out over 1,951 square feet. According to Nelson, it boasts, "exposed posts and beams, vaulted ceilings, concrete block, redwood siding, Douglas fir plywood, tongue and groove construction. Clerestory windows and glass walls define simple geometric volumes and coalesce to heighten feelings of expanse and space...It's a world-class piece of Mid-Century architecture,"
