After 18 years of ownership, Al Jean has decided to put his longtime home on the west side of Los Angeles up for sale. The entertainment industry veteran—probably best known for his Emmy-winning work as an executive producer and showrunner for The Simpsons —and his TV writer wife Stephanie Gillis are asking a speck under $10 million for the Brentwood digs they picked up back in spring 2006 for nearly $4.5 million.
Originally built in 1980 but since updated, the stylish digs feature six bedrooms and a matching number of baths in a little more than 6,200 square feet of colorful yet refined living space on two levels adorned throughout with a mix of hardwood and tile floors, high wood-beam ceilings, and numerous windows allowing for plenty of natural light. There’s also a gated driveway that passes beneath a porte-cochère before emptying out at a motor court flanked by an attached two-car garage. RELATED: Kate Beckinsale’s Former L.
A. Home Can Be Yours for $4.3 Million Tucked away on a bucolic parcel spanning almost an acre, the creamy stucco structure is highlighted by a spacious living room boasting a stone fireplace and an elevated piano lounge.

An accompanying breakfast nook spills out to an alfresco entertaining terrace. Elsewhere on the main level is a junior primary suite flaunting a sitting room that opens to the backyard.
Five more bedrooms can be found upstairs, including a posh owner’s retreat featuring a private balcony offering treetop and hillside views, as well as a luxe bath equipped with dual vanities, a makeup station, a spa tub, and a large glass-encased shower. A finished attic could easily be used as a gym or workspace. RELATED: Ben Affleck Just Paid $20.
