Actor Matthew Perry recently purchased a humble 1,701-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bath home Los Angeles' Studio City neighborhood for $883,000.
The listing for the property reads:
This warm and inviting 3 bedroom home offers a great living room, elegant dining area, big kitchen with breakfast area and Italian tile floors. Inside laundry, hardwood throughout, spectacular yard with sparkling pool and grass.
If you remember correctly, Perry recently made a baller purchase of a modern Runyon Canyon manse for $4.5 million. So, this modest fixer-upper will clearly not be his primary residence. I am eager to see what he does with it, though. I'm thinking he should paint the exposed brick fireplace white, stain the hardwood floors a darker tone, ditch the mirrored closet doors and vertical blinds, and replace the kitchen cabinets (or paint them) and go for open shelving above. The pool area isn't in bad shape, though the brick wall could be removed, and some sculptural pieces, planters, and lounge chairs should be added. The front of the house could use some landscaping as well. What do you think?

hee hee. I like how this is a "humble" home for about 800K! The size is about that of my house, and, in fact the whole setup is quite similar (pool etc etc), only in a different location in the US it retails for a LOT LESS. Prices are California are nuts!!!
1It would be interesting if Casa followed this story up to see if Chanandler Bong renovates this place and how..
With the way the California real estate market is going, he must be pretty confident/oblivious that this cozy house will not depreciate wildly... or the lot's location is just too amazing to pass up (which I do not see).
I cannot believe anyone would pay $800k for a middle class house. Over inflated prices are not a sign your lifestyle is better, it is a sign your money is devalued.
2I'm cracking up too veside!
I actually live in Studio City and dream of the day my husband can afford to live buy and 800k house.... Its unfortunate because where i'm originally from (OH) 800k would practically by a palace!
3Maybe he bought it for a relative.
4I heard that it's his best friend who lived there
