The Los Angeles mansion where “Friends” actor Matthew Perry died last year is now in the hands of a new owner.
The home was quietly sold for $8.5 million in an off-market deal, according to the New York Times.
The property’s new owner, Arizona real estate developer and producer Anita Verma-Lallian, closed the transaction through a trust, represented by Brooke Elliott Laurinkus of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California.
Perry, best known as Chandler Bing on the still-popular NBC series, was 54 when he was found unresponsive in the hot tub of his Pacific Palisades property in October 2023.
While his death was initially ruled a drowning, a later report by the Los Angeles County medical examiner attributed his death to the “acute effects of ketamine,” with traces of opioids also found in his system.
In August, five people, including his personal assistant and two doctors, were charged with supplying the ketamine involved.
Verma-Lallian purchased the four-bedroom, 4.5-bath home as an investment and vacation property, according to the Times.
The 3,500-square-foot midcentury modern home was built in 1965 and extensively renovated by Perry after he bought it for $6 million in 2020.
Known for his love of Batman, Perry added a personal touch to the home’s lavish design, featuring a custom red LED sign at the bottom of the pool, which he proudly displayed on social media.
Verma-Lallian, founder and CEO of Arizona Land Consulting, has been actively expanding her portfolio in recent months with several high-value acquisitions throughout Arizona.
Her company recently closed a $20 million deal for 131 acres in Buckeye, along with a $40 million purchase of 600 acres in Casa Grande. Additionally, Verma-Lallian’s firm made headlines in August after it sold a 2,100-acre site for $160 million, a substantial profit on its $40 million purchase in 2022.
Perry’s estate was represented by Greg Holcombe of Carolwood Estates.
