The world was shocked when beloved actor Matthew Perry passed away last year at the young age of 54. It was a devastating loss for his fans, friends, and family. Among the many things that Perry left behind was a beautiful home in the Hollywood Hills, which he had only purchased five months before his untimely death.
Perry, famously known for his role as Chandler Bing on the hit sitcom Friends, had big plans for this house. However, he never got the chance to live in it. On October 28, 2023, Perry was found unresponsive in the pool at his residence. It was a tragic accident, and he never got to see his downsizing plan come to fruition.
The fully-furnished mansion at 1479 Rising Glen Road is now back on the market, listed at a slightly higher price than what Perry had paid for it. This classic LA house may be smaller than other mansions in the area, but it still boasts three bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a spacious 2,566 square feet on a 9,622 square foot lot. The house is filled with natural light, thanks to its many sliding glass doors, and has a beautiful swimming pool and a huge gated driveway.
Sadly, Perry had not moved into the property before his passing. He had bought the house as part of his downsizing plan, but he never got the chance to enjoy it. This was one of many properties that Perry owned in the Los Angeles area. Over the years, he had built a robust property portfolio and made over $35 million in sales.
In 1994, after the success of Friends, Perry bought his first house and continued to add to his collection over the years. He was known for his love of glass walls, saunas, and swimming pools, as evident in his various luxury homes. One of his most notable purchases was Elton John's former two-bedroom condo at the Sierra Towers building in West Hollywood.
Perry was no stranger to buying and selling properties. In 2001, he sold his two-bedroom LA mansion for a considerable profit and moved to a 6,500-square-foot mansion in Beverly Hills. He continued to invest in properties, including a Sunset Strip property, which he later sold for almost $6 million.
His portfolio also included a beautiful three-bedroom home in the Hollywood Hills, estimated to be worth around $8.5 million. However, his most impressive purchase was a $21 million mansion in 2017, which he affectionately called his "mansion in the sky." Unfortunately, Perry never got to live in this dream home.
At the time of his death, Perry was staying at his $6 million cottage in the Pacific Palisades area of LA. This house was equipped with a cinema room, adding to the actor's love for entertainment. In total, Perry had sold over $35 million worth of homes, leaving behind a substantial estate.
As with any estate sale, the profits are usually divided between the beneficiaries of the will. In Perry's case, his ex-girlfriend Rachel Dunn, his parents, and his half-sister were named as beneficiaries. He also left over $1 million to the trustees of the Alvy Singer Living Trust, named after the main character in his favorite movie, Annie Hall.
Perry's sudden passing was a shock to everyone, but his legacy lives on through his work and the homes he had lovingly built and owned. The beautiful Hollywood Hills mansion, which was meant to be his new home, is now on the market, waiting for its new owner to create their own memories within its walls.
