On the Market: Matthew Perry's Former Pad

CasaSugar — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 11:00:06 -0700

Are you a Friends fan with an eye for modern real estate? Then you're in luck because, according to Big Time, the 8,000-square-foot, four-bedroom, five-bath Beverly Hills former home of Matthew Perry is on the market for $12.5 million.The listing for the property reads:

"Lautner-esque" Modern estate at the end of quiet cul-de-sac in Trousdale. Poliform kitchen opens to family room, which spills out to sizable back yard with large lawn, outdoor cooking & dining, and infinity pool & spa. Sensational city-to-ocean views can also be enjoyed from lavish master suite with Poliform closet and 2-story high living room. State-of-the-art Crestron system controls luxurious, advanced 14-person, tiered screening room, as well as most other automated features of the house.

Perry purchased the property in 1999 for $2.9 million, and sold it in 2005 for $6.1 million. This Spring, he purchased a modern three-bedroom in LA for $4.5 million. And this Summer he paid $883,000 for a modest fixer-upper in LA's Studio City. It's clear that Perry is a modern man who loves to shop the market. While this industrial modern estate isn't quite my taste, it's certainly quite dramatic and architecturally stunning. I'd love to spend a weekend there, or even a few months . . . and pretend to be Marcia Brady with a trust fund.

This Just In: Matthew Perry Shops the Market

CasaSugar — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 16:00:30 -0700

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?

This Just In: Modern Man Matthew Perry Makes a Baller Buy

CasaSugar — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 11:00:13 -0700

According to Real Estalker, Matthew Perry purchased a 2,893-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home in Los Angeles's Outpost Estates near Runyon Canyon for nearly $4.5 million. The home is every bit contemporary, architecturally stunning, and looks straight out of a scene from Entourage. In the real estate photos, it's decked head to toe in quite baller furnishings (i.e. shag and animal print carpet, fur comforters, Eames task chairs) I must say, looking super staged, but who knows what Perry will do with the place. The listing reads:

Presenting a spectacular modern home with soaring mountain, city, and ocean views. Located at the end of a quiet, hilltop cul-de-sac, this one-of-a-kind gated estate flows effortlessly, lives graciously, and speaks lifestyle. Full-floor master suite, white terrazzo floors, disappearing walls of glass, state-of-the-art audio, visual, and security systems, chef's kitchen, pool/spa.

Perry also owns a condo above the Sunset Strip and a swank ocean view house in Malibu. Ohhh to be a bachelor in Hollywood . . .

Lots more where these came from, so read more.

Patrick Dempsey Lists His McDream House

CasaSugar — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 15:00:34 -0700

The style of some celebrity digs, like Mickey Rourke's opulent Hollywood home, come as a surprise, deviating sharply from someone's public persona. Others are so predictable it's laughable. Patrick Dempsey's 3,841-square-foot, four-bedroom, five-and-a-half bath Holmby Hills pad, which was just listed for $3.6 million, definitely falls into the latter category. From his classic wardrobe choices to his affinity for timeless cars, the Maine native exudes a sort of conservative, blue-blooded je ne sais quoi. So, it comes as no surprise that he purchased a traditional New England-style home with classic details and impeccable landscaping. When he moved to LA, he didn't make a baller buy like Matthew Perry, but chose an understated family home - complete with a tree house! - that's true to his East Coast roots.
