Matthew Perry sells former mansion at USD 12.5 mn

"Friends" alum Matthew Perry has sold his former mansion in the Bird Streets neighbourhood above LA's Sunset Strip at USD 12.5 million.

The 48-year-old actor put his home on sale in an off-market deal last month after having failed to attract a buyer on the open market list - from late June to early October 2017 - where the price was set at USD 13.5 million, Variety reported.

Perry owned the posh city-view modern property since August 2011 when he bought it for USD 8.5 million.

Spread over 3,821-square-foot, the state-of-the-art house has a single storey with three bedrooms plus an en suite bonus room suitable for an office of gym, a total four-and-a-half bathrooms and open plan living spaces.

Originally built in 1962 and later remodelled, the mansion also boasts of large stepping stones across a shallow pond with two theatrical fire chalices, a small bit of lawn, a covered patio for dining and lounging and an LED-lit infinity edged swimming pool.

Perry exchanged his Bird Streets house for a grander, mansion-sized aerie at the exorbitantly priced Century tower in Century City, which he bought in last year in May for USD 20 million.
