Matthew Perry's final real estate purchase, a Hollywood Hills home bought just months before his untimely death, has been listed for sale.
As reported by Daily Mail, the property, located at 1479 Rising Glen Road, was acquired by the Friends star for $4,995,000 on May 31, 2023. Perry passed away at age 54 on October 28, 2023, due to the "acute effects of ketamine."
The 2,566-square-foot residence is set on a 9,622-square-foot lot, featuring three bedrooms and four bathrooms. It combines classic architecture with modern touches, including expansive glass walls that open up to a sunlit patio.

Perry's real estate ventures began in 1994, shortly after the hit sitcom debuted, with the purchase of a two-bedroom Hollywood Hills mansion. By 1999, Perry had moved to a larger 6,500-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion. His portfolio expanded in 2005 with a stylish two-bedroom condo on the Sunset Strip, previously owned by Elton John. He continued to invest, adding a 4,100-square-foot Sunset Strip mansion in 2006, which he sold in 2014.
The actor also owned a modern three-bedroom on Carman Crest Drive from 2008 and another glass-walled Hollywood Hills home from 2011. Not stopping there, he bought a $12 million beachfront Malibu home in 2011 and later moved to a luxurious high-rise apartment in 2017, which he called "a mansion in the sky."
Perry hoped his legacy would extend beyond his television fame, aiming to be remembered for his advocacy on substance misuse issues. Open about his own struggles, he was committed to using his influence to assist others facing similar battles.
"The best thing about me, bar none, is if somebody comes up to me and says, 'I can't stop drinking. Can you help me?' I can say yes and follow up and do it," Perry shared in a 2022 interview with Q's Tom Power. He emphasized that his personal victories against addiction were as significant as any professional success. "And I've said this for a long time: when I die, I don't want Friends to be the first thing that's mentioned — I want that to be the first thing that's mentioned. And I'm going to live the rest of my life proving that."
