Aubrey Plaza takes $1 million off the price of her Los Angeles home

Actress Aubrey Plaza has relisted her Spanish-style home at a $1.2 million discount – just two months after an offer on the house fell through.

Plaza, 41, originally listed the picturesque Los Feliz abode for $6.5 million in September, eight months after her film director husband Jeff Baenadied by suicide in the building.

Now the ‘Dirty Grandpa’ actress, who announced in April that she is expecting her first child with her partner Chris Abbott– changes its tactics when finding a buyer and chooses to relist the property with a new real estate agent, Carl Gambino from the Gambino Group at Compass.

Although Gambino was not available to comment on the home’s return to the market, the property’s previous listing agent said, Bryce Pennel of the Pennel Group at Douglas Elliman, explained to Realtor.com® that the property had were offered several times, but each of these offers ultimately failed before a deal could be closed.

He further noted that the sensitive nature of the house’s connection to Baena’s death made its marketing far more complicated than a “typical sale.”

“From the beginning, this was not a typical sale,” Pennel explains. “There was a lot of emotional attachment to the property, which required discretion, care and a thoughtful approach. Despite the complexity and public attention surrounding it, there was consistent and meaningful interest from buyers, because at its core it is an incredibly special property.

“The multiple escrow cancellations were more a reflection of the unique circumstances surrounding the home rather than a lack of demand. Ultimately, when the eventual buyer chose not to proceed, they decided to reposition the property with a meaningful price reduction and relist it with another agent.”

Although he is no longer working to sell the home, Pennel had only positive praise for Plaza, adding, “I am grateful to have helped the property through an important chapter and I am grateful to everyone involved along the way.”

In March, Realtor.com exclusively announced that Plaza had found a buyer for the home. However, on May 12, the deal had fallen through and the house was taken off the market again.

Now, the sprawling Los Feliz complex has officially returned to the market for $5.29 million, marking a $1.21 million discount from the original asking price.

Plaza and Baena – a writer and director – bought their home together in October 2022, paying $4.7 million for the Los Feliz estate.

Records show the property was purchased through a trust managed by an accounting firm located in the same office as Plaza’s production company, Evil Hag Productions.

The Mediterranean-style home, with four bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, was built in 1928 and appears to have been purchased off-market, according to Realtor.com records.

Before being purchased by the couple in 2022, the home last changed hands in 2017 for $3.6 million.

In the latest listing, the Spanish-style home is described as “tucked away on a private street” in the “coveted” Los Feliz Oaks neighborhood.

“Meticulously restored and tastefully updated, the home honors its architectural heritage while offering modern amenities including a screening room, wine cellar, swimming pool, oversized steam room and state-of-the-art sound system,” the description continues.

“This is more than a house… it’s a private retreat, brought back to life with care, style and enduring character. A rare opportunity for those seeking space, seclusion and authentic Spanish charm.”

Listing images reveal an incredibly tasteful interior, with a neutral, elegant palette used throughout the home and filled with natural light.

The light and airy kitchen features large glass doors to the rear garden, creating a seamless flow between the two spaces.

However, there are several pops of color throughout, including a large pink sofa in one of the living areas, and funky yellow-green tiles in a bathroom.

Pink seems to have been a favorite shade for Plaza, with the master bathroom painted a very pale pink color, while the master bathroom also has fun light fixtures in a similar color.

The home also offers many amenities beyond the main residence, including multiple outdoor areas “designed for dining, lounging and entertaining,” as well as a beautiful pool set on a lawn, with a canopy that provides natural shade for the hottest days.

In one of the living areas, an artistically curved window helps emphasize the beauty of the home’s surroundings, creating a picturesque view of the property’s gardens, serving almost as a natural work of art in the space, which also features a cozy fireplace.

Arches run throughout the home, from the arched front door to the arched doorways that lead from one room to another in many of the main living areas.

Plaza and Baena bought the house just over a year after revealing they had secretly tied the knot, with the actress sharing the news in a May 2021 Instagram post in which she called her partner her “sweet husband.”

The couple, who had been dating since 2011, largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight; However, Plaza previously noted that their shared love of the film industry had been a great boon to their romance.

“I think when you’re with someone who’s in your field, he or she understands on a deeper level what you’re dealing with,” she told People in 2019. “So you’re obviously able to support each other and really understand what kind of journey we’re both on.”

Baena was pronounced dead on January 3, 2025, at the Los Feliz property he shared with Plaza, with the Los Angeles County coroner later confirming the cause of death as suicide.

Plaza later broke her silence about her struggle to cope with her grief, telling a fellow comedian Amy Poehler that its devastation felt like a “gigantic ocean of awfulness.”

During an appearance on Poehler’s “Good Hang” podcast in August of that same year, the “Honey Don’t!” star explained that although she did her best to deal with each day as it came, coping with the loss of her husband was a “daily struggle.”

“Overall, I’m here and I’m functioning. I’m very grateful to be able to travel the world. I think I’m doing well, but of course it’s a daily struggle,” she admitted.

On April 8, Plaza confirmed through her spokesperson that she is expecting a baby with Abbott with a source tells People magazine that she and Abbott “feel very blessed,” adding that the pregnancy was a “beautiful surprise after an emotional year.”

Before the news was shared, Plaza had not publicly revealed the news of her relationship with Abbott, with whom she has collaborated on several projects, including the 2020 film “Black Bear.” They also starred alongside each other in the 2023 off-Broadway production of “Danny and the Deep Blue Sea.”
