Computer scientist Alan Kay and novelist Bonnie MacBird have owned this Brentwood residence for more than 30 years, and now seek a new generation of owners.
,” alongside his wife, Bonnie MacBird, an author known for her Sherlock Holmes novels and the original screenwriter for the movie “TRON” — are selling their longtime Los Angeles home for $7 million.
Located in the upscale Brentwood Heights area, this has been their residence for more than 30 years. Kay, 83, purchased the home in 1989 for $1.7 million, records show. It is named The Contrapuntal House after the home’s iconic Contrapuntal Performance Hall — a diligently designed two-story concert hall and an 8,000-book library with a secret room.
The hall can be transformed into a dance floor or a performance venue, the listing explains, adding that “luminaries from the music, literary, computer, art and entertainment worlds have enjoyed performances here.” The upper-level custom-designed library features alcoves for reading — and one secret spot that’s a particular perk.
