It takes a village to make a hit TV show or movie, and music is a critical component. Think of how many theme songs stick with viewers long after a show stops filming or a movie’s credits run. Composer Jeff Beal, a five-time Emmy-award winner, is adept at creating this auditory experience. Beal’s distinguished work includes composing the music for major shows like House of Cards, Monk, and Ugly Betty and dramatic documentaries such as Blackfish and GameStop: Rise of the Players. Now, the home where is has written most of his cinematic and television scores has listed in L.A. hills not far from Calabasas and above Malibu.
Owning it since 2010 and listing it since he’s now relocated to New York City, Beal is hoping to reel in $4,050,000 for the property. It showcases rich materials and a warm-toned palette harkening to the Tuscan countryside, an aesthetic that was hugely popular in 2007 when it was built. You’ll find plenty of arches, custom ironwork, and heavy doors. In contrast, home design trends today are more bright and sleek—think modern farmhouse. But, some are tiring of that cookie-cutter look already.
Whether a new owner plans to keep it as is or renovate to give it a fresh feel, the 5,746-square-foot house has tons of great spaces to work with. The main level boasts an inviting kitchen with pops of green and gracious living areas, including a relaxing covered patio with a fireplace and European-style flooring just outside. This floor also holds the primary suite as well as one additional bedroom while the upper level hosts the rest of the home’s three bedrooms.
There are many quiet corners where one could imagine Beal sitting to hum melodies. An outdoor sitting area sits on a hill under a large oak tree, seemingly perfect for moments of creativity. Many of Beal’s compositions were actually recorded inside in the great room, which has a 12-foot ceilings and stone floors ideal acoustics.
If this property strikes the right note for you, Linda Rich of Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing.
