‘Friends’ superstar Matthew Perry is no stranger to real estate deals and over the last ten years, in addition to acting, writing and producing, has been buying, restyling and reselling some fabulous California homes.
The most recent that has come to market is a glamorous 40th-floor apartment in the celebrity-filled, paparazzi-proof, 42-story Century condominium. Perry purchased the apartment, which covers the entire 40th floor of the building, right after selling another stunning home in L.A.’s Hollywood Hills Bird Streets in 2017.
After bringing in his team of architect Scott Joyce and interior designer LM Paganoe, Matthew has recently put it on the market at $35 million.
Designed by Robert A. M. Stern Architects in 2009, Century attracted Candy Spelling, widow of filmmaker Aaron Spelling, who bought the top two floors 41 and 42, Paula Abdul, Elizabeth Berkley and Rihanna. Many more flocked to Century from film industry elites, CEOs and celebrity chefs.
In 2017, Perry bought the entire 40th floor. The building rises above four acres of lush private gardens with a 75-foot-long swimming pool, screening room, yoga and Pilates studios and a wine-storage facility.
Perry’s home measures in at 9,318 square feet with ceiling-to-floor views over Los Angeles – visually stunning in daylight and sparkling with lights at night. It includes enormous rooms – a living room with two fireplaces, huge master suite with multiple living areas.
Overall, there are four bedrooms and eight baths, game room and home theater. The chef’s kitchen has island seating as well as a table for casual dining and a separate dining room with glass walls highlighting the views. Four terraces are perfect for entertaining and dining.
