See inside $6 million Sunset Point Beach-adjacent house of redeemed Friend Matthew Perry

A sleek modernist joint from the sixties that squats on a hunk of grass sloping gently down to the now infamous hot tub.

A lot of chatter, here there and everywhere, about the actor Matthew Perry, who was found dead in his jacuzzi, aged fifty-four, yesterday. 

A surprise to no one who’d seen the funnyman’s descent into a haze of Oxies and booze. Five years ago, same thing, found unresponsive in his jacuzzi. 

Real lucky back then. Perry had surgery, heart stopped beating for five minutes during surgery, his colon burst after docs gave him propofol and he was in a coma for two weeks. But he survived, even if he had to waltz around with a colostomy bag for a year while the colon repaired itself. 

Ain’t no second or third chances, howevs., 

Matthew Perry, who was famous for his portrayal of the sarcastic but vaguely lovable Chandler Bing in the TV series Friends, lived a few clicks from Sunset Point Beach, where VAL-friendly waves refract onto a yellowish stretch of sand. The sorta wave your ol pal DR seeks out now that his hip cartilage has dissolved and the once-simple mechanic of bringing a back foot into position feels like climbing Everest. 

The single-level house at 18038 Blue Sail Dr, Pacific Palisades is a pretty, low-slung joint built in 1965 hence its sleek modernist lines. There are four beds, four-and-a-half bathrooms, is around three thousand square feet, and squats on a hunk of grass that slopes gently down to the now infamous hot tub.

Two of the four bedrooms stare straight into the Pacific, a front row to California’s iconic sunsets. 

Matthew Perry paid six mill for it three years ago and was hit with seventy-one grand in property taxes every year, peanuts for an actor who was still getting three mill a year in syndication residuals.
