A rare opportunity to live in an original A. Quincy Jones residence. Jones, FAIA, the architect behind Sunnylands, the celebrated Eichler home designs, and later Dean of Architecture at USC, completed this home in 1951, in the same era he designed Gary Cooper's famed Holmby Hills residence. His houses are held today by collectors from Larry Gagosian to Jennifer Aniston, and they remain among the rarest California modernism ever to become available to live in, at any price. The Howard G. Wilson House is pure California modernism: walls of glass opening to the canyon, warm mahogany-paneled walls, original terrazzo floors, and built-ins throughout, all impeccably maintained, with the architectural details preserved as Jones intended. Three bedrooms and three and a half baths, plus a separate office studio, fill the home with natural light. The setting is its own amenity: a private, gated hillside lot in Beverly Glen, minutes to Beverly Hills, UCLA, and the Westside. Off-street parking for 3 to 4 cars on a circular driveway, EV charging station, and in-unit laundry. Gardening service included. The home is served by Roscomare Road Elementary, among California's top-rated public schools. Offered at $10,500/month unfurnished, or $13,000/month fully furnished with the owners' curated mid-century collection, allowing the home to be lived in as the complete architectural experience Jones intended. 12-month minimum lease. Tenant pays utilities. No smoking or subleasing; pets considered case-by-case with monthly pet rent.
