Legendary music producer Quincy Jones recently moved to what the Los Angeles Times called his "dream home" after he sold his house in the Bel-Air section of Los Angeles for approximately $5.4 million.

The Hot Property section of the Times reported Jones, 72, had owned the home for 20 years. The three-story wood and brick home has six bedrooms and eight-and-a-half baths in 5,500 square feet.

He bought the house after Latin singer Julio Iglesias made it famous in his 1984 album 1100 Bel-Air Place. Iglesias, the paper said, was a tenant in the home for a while.

The house was built in 1948 and is walled and gated. It also has a library, a family room with a fireplace, a kitchen with wood-beam ceiling, a pool and a master suite with city views.

According to the paper, Jones' new home is a 25,000- to 30,000-square-foot compound located on a private street in Los Angeles' Westside. It has a screening room, a recording studio, offices, guest suites, a tennis court, city-to-ocean views and a gated driveway.
