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.

Many of Beal’s compositions were recorded in the great room, which has acoustically compatible 12-foot ceilings, stone floors, and the required technical systems.
