Matthew Perry downsizes, sheds Malibu beach house for $13.1 million
A few months after buying a smaller place down the coast in Pacific Palisades, actor Matthew Perry has sold his oceanfront home in Malibu for $13.1 million.
It’s one of two properties the “Friends†star is trying to sell. The other — a 9,300-square-foot Century City penthouse dubbed a “mansion in the sky†— relisted last summer for $27 million.
His Malibu home spans 5,500 square feet, nearly double the size of the Palisades estate he picked up for $6 million last year. Overlooking the ocean, it boasts walls of glass that expand to multiple outdoor spaces including wood decks on both levels and a secluded patio with a spa.
Inside, dramatic beams hang above an open floor plan with a wood-covered dining room and kitchen. At the center of the space, a dual-sided fireplace runs floor-to-ceiling.
A floating staircase ascends to the top level, where the primary bedroom expands to the upper deck. In total, there are four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, as well as a movie theater with tiered seating.
Perry has kept busy since his days playing Chandler Bing, appearing on the shows “Mr. Sunshine,†“The Good Wife†and “The Odd Couple.†In 2017, the 51-year-old played Ted Kennedy on the television miniseries “The Kennedys After Camelot.â€
He first listed the home last summer for $14.95 million, records show.
Josh Flagg and Bobby Boyd of Rodeo Realty Beverly Hills held the listing. Luis Robledo of Douglas Elliman of California represented the buyer.
