Mid-Century LA Home Preserved in Time Lists on Market

A. Quincy Jones' Home Hits Market for $3.4 Million.

A
rare midcentury-modern gem in Los Angeles is on the market for nearly $3.5 million, offering a unique chance to own a piece of architectural history. Designed by renowned architect A. Quincy Jones in 1956, the home was built for Norman Reicher, who admired Jones's innovative approach and desire for a seamless blend of function and natural surroundings.

    The property has been remarkably preserved by the Reicher family, retaining its original mid-century details such as a Palos Verdes stone-flanked fireplace, Formica kitchen countertops, and jalousie windows. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house features Jones's signature indoor-outdoor living with glass-and-metal sliding doors leading to a skylight-covered patio and pool area.

    The layout includes a built-in sofa in the living room, a vintage kitchen with nostalgic touches, and bathrooms that stay true to their era, complete with a standout yellow tub and matching sinks. The outdoor space features a classic pool with a diving board and direct access to changing rooms. This home has even had its moment in the spotlight, serving as a set for the sitcom "Single Parents" in 2018.

    The Reicher family's dedication to preserving this architectural treasure is evident throughout the property, which remains largely untouched except for a new roof. As Joseph Cilic from Sotheby's International Realty notes, "It is a time capsule in original form." This rare opportunity to own a piece of midcentury-modern history is now available through Cilic and his colleague Bruno Abisror.
