Quintessential California
8661 + 8663 Nash Drive | Laurel Canyon | 2 Bedrooms | 2,156 Sq. Ft.
A once-in-a-lifetime chance to stay in the iconic hillside retreat where famed architect A. Quincy Jones set up his first office/studio is now available for $20,000 per month. A bargain when factoring in that the two-bedroom residence known as “One Place” was designed and built in 1938 and has since been updated to include an open floor plan highlighted by soaring ceilings, large windows offering picturesque Downtown views, and authentic midcentury furnishings from Brazil, France and Denmark. Topping it all off is complimentary access to the exclusive Spring Place members-only workspace/social club in Beverly Hills.
“Those who appreciate architecture can bask in the property’s rich history and iconic design, while receiving all the amenities of a five-star hotel,” says listing agent Alana Mesica of The Agency. “Guests can curate their experience to fit their own needs, whether it be stocking the fridge, transportation, cleaning services or custom wellness offerings.”
Since the fully furnished home can be split into two self-contained sides, the option also exists to rent one side only for $10,000 a month.

Owned by “Fast and Furious” producer Steven Chasman and his wife, actress Nadia Farès, this stately Mediterranean-style villa resting on a 1.2-acre parcel of land in Pacific Palisades’ prestigious Ridgeview Country Estates is now on the market for $14.95 million.
“Located on one of a few privately guard-gated communities west of the 405 Freeway lies this beautiful estate with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island from the entryway and nearly every room,” says Compass listing agent Steve Sawaii.
Also standing out is a professional chef’s kitchen with center island that opens into a family room and outdoor living area, plus a screening room and lavish master suite replete with an ocean-view balcony.
“The backyard’s amenities consist of a pool, children’s play area and plenty of room for entertaining,” adds co-listing agent Andrea Pilot.
Rounding out the two-story estate (formerly owned by actor and director James Lansbury from 1995-2006) is lush landscaping punctuated by citrus trees and terraced gardens.
