Throughout the years, Matthew Perry has built up quite an impressive property portfolio, purchasing homes all across Los Angeles, including a full-floor circular penthouse in Century City.

After acquiring this particular home in 2017, the Canadian-American actor transformed the residence in a top-down renovation led by architect Scott Joyce and interior designer LM Pagano. 

Occupying the entire top floor in The Century Building, Penthouse 40 looks out over the city like a floating palace, encompassing 9,290-square-feet of custom-designed interior space.
