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.
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.

Man! People never seem to disappoint me, and yet I’m always surprised to see how ignorant they can be I was once told to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Whether you like the guy or not for whatever your reasons, show some respect. The man is dead!
What do you mean “adjacent-house”? Are these photos of a house that is adjacent to Perry’s home, or are the photos of Perry’s home? Either way, this is a beautiful home and quite a good deal for $6 million.
The ocean is so vast
one interview er mentioned how cold and stark the home felt….. house not a home. expensive one.
Weird how I get a good feeling in some houses and a very cold unfriendly feeling in others
I’m probably the only guy to have a board break in half at that wave, back in the leashless 1970’s, high tide “big” winter day, my beloved Blue Cheer 6′ 3 sent straight into the rocks…
Some are very nice!
prospective buyer: “Can you give me a bit of the property’s history?”
realtor: “Let’s go look at the view!”
Amazing how someone can live in a joint like that and still feel like a sack of shit.
(checked watch*)
Never too soon!

Classic BG move, washed up 90s actor with no association to surfing dies, gets 3 articles and counting with the third really a segue into DR’s preferred topic of real estate.
You can’t fault our consistency.
How good is propofol!
some good came out of it. led to a THRILLER!
Cunt gets 20 mill a year from reruns.
Did.
I thought reruns were when you shit yourself twice, cool gig.
I always wanted to be the kid of a mother or father that would forever have syndication money coming in.
Probably end up just like M. Perry though

For sho
Yeah, wave pool every day?
I guess everything would get boring in the end, even the drugs

Nice place for a bowling green with a bit of leveling and good turf management…
rock the kasbah~
fall sale to TMZ? too soon? Hot Tub? douche? he kissed Species gal. Time to turn over~
Just unfriended Matthew perry
Interpreting DR… not a fan of the Perr Perr.
House looks perfunctory with a view and man, the traffic in and out to surf shitty waves?
When did you start saying ‘real’ all the time? Are you dating a kiwi? Don’t slip into that hole.
Be nice, Kiwis are hurting for “real” today!
Did you see that seal that attacked the South African surfers? They say it was protecting its baby, but I reckon it was just real fucked off at the game TMO.
Losing cricket and bum sniffing. Choice bru!
*Bro. Bru would be yer SA variant.
Screwed by pedantic Pom officials. Fucken poms determined to cripple the game so that they can keep control. Shrug
It’s only buggery.Who cares ?
Rugby is less than zero here now.
Yea, mate.
Apart from a few stalwart boofheads here its corpse is apparent.
Falling #s at club level while all tv profits are pumped into the pro game. The RU has failed in its bid to make the game attractive. Crippled by the poms who want to complicate the rules to the point there’s no consistency. Oh well, I don’t give a fuck.
Hmm yeah, similar to Perry, you didn’t make it out of your pool.
Good
Is that true, is real a New Zealand affectation?
You should consult your muse of truth of everyfuckenthing Lucy fucken Small. She appears to know the bully on everything – or if she doesn’t know she’ll spout some bullshit for ya, Dez.
But imnsho – real – beh. It’s not like bro or cuz.
ahh, for real bro, mean as 🙂
Lucy is moving to France!
She should move to Gaza.
I believe so. I just heard a vox pop on the news where someone described the World Cup final refereeing as “Real surreal, aye.”
