‘House of Cards’ Composer Jeff Beal Lists SoCal Estate for $4 Million

Though he’s not exactly a household name, you’ve likely come across the handiwork of Jeff Beal —most notably, the scores to numerous films and TV shows like House of Cards , Pollock , Carnivàle , Rome , and Monk . The five-time Emmy-winning composer and instrumentalist was the guy behind these and many other tunes, most of which were recorded within the walls of this Tuscan-style home that just hit the market in the Los Angeles suburb of Agoura Hills for a speck over $4 million, or around $2 million more than he and his wife Joan paid for the place back in 2010.

Nestled amid an acre-plus parcel of land, the golden-hued stucco and terracotta-roof structure was built in 2007 and has an attached four-car garage tucked off to the side. Elaborate rock-lined steps out front empty out at a lengthy porch and double wood entry doors.

Once inside, five bedrooms and an equal number of baths are spread across nearly 5,800 square feet of Old World-style living space on two levels, which is accented throughout with a mix of stone and hardwood floors, chiseled wood-beam ceilings, columns, arched doorways, detailed ironwork, and five fireplaces.

Highlights include a double-height foyer that flows to a spacious great room hosting a combined living and dining area with access to a covered al fresco lounging and entertaining terrace warmed by a fireplace. A cozy family room sits adjacent to the country-style kitchen, which comes complete with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, top-tier Viking appliances, an eat-in island, and a built-in work station.

Per the listing , which is held by Linda Rich of Sotheby’s International Realty–Westlake Village Brokerage, there also are blueprint plans for a pool and spa, plus a fully owned solar system.
