The mansion that Matthew Perry purchased for $5million just three months before his tragic death and never got the chance to enjoy before dying from ‘acute effects of ketamine’ has gone back on the housing market.

Perry, who died suddenly at the age of 54 on October 28, 2023, after being found unresponsive in a hot tub at his home in Los Angeles, bought another stunning home also in LA shortly before his death.

The Hollywood Hills property, which sits at 1479 Rising Glen Road, is a three bed four bath home sprawling over 2,566 square feet on a 9,622 square foot lot.

Perry closed the $4,995,000 sale for his new, fully-furnished house on May 31, 2023.

The stunning home perches in the hills above the iconic Sunset Strip and boasts a classic look, with walls of glass surrounding a sun-filled patio at the center of the property.

From the street, the house offers privacy with surrounding gates and a large driveway leading to a double-car garage.

There is a beautiful swimming pool and fire-pit on the south-facing deck, which gets an abundance of sunlight all-day-long.

The sprawling deck offers a large space for entertaining guests and enjoying the best of California’s sunny weather.

All bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms and offer natural light throughout the day.

Featuring classic architectural design with a modern flare, the house is styled with light and bright walls and furniture, with touches of wood and earth-toned patterns.

Listing agents Greg Holcomb and Tim Durkovic of Douglas Elliman declined to comment.

Unfortunately, Perry didn’t get the chance to enjoy his exciting purchase before he passed away abruptly in October – in a death that shocked the entire world.

Perry made a fortune thanks to his time playing Chandler Bing on the hit sitcom Friends, but he also made millions from a robust real estate portfolio.

Before his tragic death at the age of 54, the beloved star had downsized. He sold his properties for a total of $35million over the last years and replaced them with more modest homes – although there’s no suggestion he was in any financial trouble.

Like many actors when they find success, Perry bought his first Los Angeles mansion just one year after Friends premiered in 1994 – a two-bedroom home in the Hollywood Hills

‘It’s the law when you have a successful sitcom: Between the first and second seasons, you buy a house,’ he told the Toronto Star at the time.

It’s not clear for how much he bought it for, but he Canadian-American sold his first mansion in 2001 for $839,000. The property is now worth around $2 million.

He had already moved to a new home in 1999, when he bought a 6,500-square-foot mansion in Beverly Hills for a reported $3.2 million. The nearly 2,000 square feet property included a pool and a sauna and glass walls, a feature that would be a part of many of Perry’s future homes.

Also in 2005, Perry bought a furnished two-bedroom condo on the Sunset Strip for about $2.5 million. The home, previously owned by sir Elton John, was a corner unit in the Sierra Towers building in the West Hollywood area.

In 2006, Perry purchased a 4,100-square-foot mansion on the Sunset Strip for $1.7million. It featured glass walls that opened to a patio and swimming pool as well as multiple fireplaces and a home theater. He sold the property in 2014 for $5.695 million.

In 2008, Perry moved from that glass house to a mansion on Carman Crest Drive that he paid $4.475 million for. The three-bedroom home also featured glass walls and modern architecture.

He sold the house for $4.6million in 2013, but had already moved to a different home by 2011, when he bought another glass-covered three-bedroom home in the Hollywood Hills for $8.5 million.

Also in 2011, the Friends star bought a $12 million beachfront home in Malibu that he once called his ‘kick-ass Malibu home’.

Perry moved again in 2017 – this time to a ‘mansion in the sky’ with a whopping $21 million price tag.

In 2020, Perry sold his Malibu beach house for $12.95 million – down from the original listing price of $14.95 million but still more than what the actor purchased it for.

That summer he bought a $6million cottage in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles – where years later he would be found dead in the hot tub.
