Simpsons Producer Al Jean Lists Brentwood Home for $10 Million
Simpsons Producer Al Jean Lists Brentwood Home for $10 Million.
Homebuyers in Los Angeles who dream of owning a place connected to "The Simpsons" now have a chance to make that dream a reality. Al Jean, a veteran executive producer of the show since its debut season, has put his Brentwood home on the market after nearly two decades of ownership.
Jean and his wife, TV writer Stephanie Gillis, are asking just under $10 million for their Brentwood property. This price is more than double what they originally paid back in 2005, when they bought it for around $4.5 million.
The home was built in 1980 but has seen significant updates over the course of Jean's ownership. It sprawls across 6,200 square feet of living space with six bedrooms and six bathrooms. Here's a bit more from the home's official listing:
"Secluded on nearly one acre of flourishing, vibrant greenery, this traditional estate offers a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces for enduring enjoyment and peaceful relaxation. From this woodsy haven, an extreme sense of privacy and isolation abounds, shielded from outside eyes. Inside, French decor and refinement contribute to the home's European feel throughout. A light-filled formal living room features a classic stone fireplace flanked by large paned windows, exposed wood beams, bay-window sitting alcove, and piano lounge.”
“Nearby, the formal dining room includes a wood-burning fireplace, bar area, and built-in book cases. The updated chef's kitchen is as beautiful as it is functional, with glossy tile flooring, oversized center island, top-of-the-line chef-grade appliances, breakfast area, and French doors opening to the rear patio to provide effortless indoor/outdoor flow for entertaining."
The home really stands out thanks to its swimming pool, surrounded by lush, lagoon-like landscaping that feels like a fancy waterpark. There are also some cool outdoor features like a sports court, a relaxing deck with a swing bed, a cozy writer's shed with a big window, and a charming gazebo. The listing mentions that the spacious outdoor area offers "seemingly never-ending moments of natural discovery."
Jean has been living in this place for 18 years, and it's unclear what his future plans are regarding real estate. However, it looks like his home on "The Simpsons" is safe for at least another year, as the show is set to kick off its 36th season.
