Matthew Perry’s Sleek, Sexy Glass-Walled Hollywood Home Selling for $13.5M

The listing’s description as “a private Hollywood Hills oasis floating above the glorious city” is not wrong, as you can see from this photo of the firepit and outdoor living area situated next to the infinity pool, offering sprawling views of the Los Angeles skyline, extending from downtown L.A. to the Pacific Ocean.

The home was custom-built in 1962 as an homage to the Case Study Houses, an architectural movement that redefined mid-century modern architecture. Why is he selling? Now that Perry’s started to experience success as a playwright – his debut, The End of Longing, completed a successful run in London and recently premiered off-Broadway – it is believed that Perry calling New York home.

The home boasts an open concept in which one living space flows seamlessly to the next, with three bedrooms and five bathrooms situated on a quarter-acre lot. The erstwhile Chandler Bing purchased the home in 2011 for $8.65 million, according to property records.

The expansive main living space is characterized by walls of glass that opens to the outdoor entertainment area, accessed via a huge pivoting glass door.

The spacious living room boasts hardwood floors, a fireplace, built-in bookshelves and discreetly recessed ceiling lighting. The living room opens to a kitchen with bright green countertops and, beyond that, a large dining room, all of which feature glass walls opening to the outdoor patio.

The outdoor entertaining area includes fire and water features, a cascading wall of water and an LED-lit infinity pool, as well as a cabana-like covered area for outdoor R&R.

It’s no surprise that living atop L.A.’s famed Sunset Strip would deliver stunning sunset views such as this.

The largest of the home’s three bedrooms is described as a “one-of-a-kind master suite,” which also features a wall of glass that opens directly to the pool. Other features include a large closet, a number of custom built-ins and a sumptuous master bath that adjoins the bedroom.

Among the feature in this expansive, bathroom are a deep soaker tub and huge glass-walled walk-in shower, along with a skylight overhead that floods the bathroom with California sunlight.

A set of steps from the pool area, next to the infinity pool, lead to an unexpected feature: a door leading to a subterranean screening room.

Described in the listing as a “premiere-worthy entertainment paradise,” the screening room boasts a massive viewing screen large enough to take up the space of an entire wall, while another wall of glass opens to the below-water area of the adjacent swimming pool. Could it be any better?

Overlooking the pool is this small patch of grass, hosting some green lounge chairs situated in the ideal position to take in that amazing view.

The pool looks directly into the master bedroom, showcasing the home’s dramatic mid-century modern design ethos.

The home’s openness allows for a easy flow from one room to the next, with hardly a wall in sight, with the division between indoor and outdoor spaces melting away.
