Before he passed away in October 2023 at age 54, Matthew Perry expanded his real estate portfolio with another Los Angeles property. The comedian, producer, and actor—best known for his Emmy-nominated role as Chandler Bing on the long-running sitcom “Friends”—spent just under $5 million in an off-market deal for a sleek midcentury-modern villa in Hollywood Hills that was originally listed for around $6 million. Now, this residence is on the market again, this time for $5.2 million.

Built in 1957 and recently renovated, the home sits on nearly a quarter-acre above the Sunset Strip. It features a short, wide driveway leading to an attached two-car garage, a privacy screen, and a set of steps leading to an atrium-style entryway. The all-white structure includes three bedrooms and four baths within over 2,500 square feet of single-level living space, featuring a mix of stone and blonde hardwood floors. Fleetwood sliding glass doors open to a covered lounge area overlooking a swimming pool and a fire pit.
An office nook is situated right off the living area.
The property includes a formal dining space that has been turned into a billiards room, connected by a two-way fireplace to an office nook and a living area adjacent to a streamlined kitchen outfitted with stainless appliances, a stylish backsplash, and an eat-in peninsula illuminated by pendant lights. All the bedrooms are en-suite, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a glass-encased shower. Another bedroom has been converted into a chic screening room with a projector and surround sound.

In addition to the Hollywood Hills house, Perry—who released his memoir “Friends, Lovers, and The Big Terrible Thing” in late 2022, where he discussed his struggles with a Vicodin addiction—also owned a contemporary cottage in Pacific Palisades, which he purchased for $6 million in 2020. It was there that he died from the “acute effects of ketamine,” according to an autopsy conducted by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner.
The formal dining space currently serves as a billiards room.
