Matthew Perry’s former Pacific Palisades home sold in an off-market deal in mid-October for $8.55 million, just over one year after the actor’s death.
With four bedrooms spread out over 3,000 square feet, the residence was built in 1965 and underwent renovations in 2018 to give it the more contemporary style it boasts today.
The mid-century modern home has an open floor plan with floor-to-ceiling windows that stare out at the Pacific coastline.
There is also an extra-wide pivoting front door to transition from the living and dining spaces. The kitchen comes complete with a concrete breakfast table, top-of-the-line appliances and a wall made up of floating planters for an in-house vegetable garden.
The property is situated on a steep hillside with hosting amenities, such as a fire pit, raised pool and spa “perched” on the cliff’s edge overlooking the ocean.
Perry purchased the home in 2020 for $6 million.
The home was reportedly sold to Anita Verma-Lallian, a movie producer and real estate developer, according to the Los Angeles Times.
“Verma-Lallian bought the home through a trust and was represented by Brooke Elliott Laurinkus of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California, her representative said,” the LA Times reported. “The listing was held by Greg Holcomb of Carolwood Estates … She intends to use the property as a vacation home, her representative said.”
Perry died on Saturday, October 28, 2023. He was found in the hot tub at his home on Blue Sail Drive in Castellammare.
Perry died from “acute effects of ketamine,” the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office reported in December 2023. The autopsy report also cited drowning, coronary artery disease and the effects of buprenorphine as contributing factors in his death.
