EXCLUSIVE: Aubrey Plaza Cuts More Than $1 Million Off the Price of Her L.A. Home—1 Month After Announcing Pregnancy

23 hours ago 6

Actress Aubrey Plaza has relisted her Spanish-style California compound with a steep $1.2 million discount—just two months after an offer on the home fell through.

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

Now, the “Dirty Grandpa” actress—who announced in April that she is expecting her first child with partner Chris Abbott—is changing up her tactics for finding a buyer, choosing to relist the property with a new agent, Carl Gambino of the Gambino Group at Compass.

While Gambino was not available to comment on the home's return to the market, the property's previous listing agent, Bryce Pennel of the Pennel Group at Douglas Elliman, explained to Realtor.com® that the dwelling had come under offer on several occasions, but each of those offers ultimately ended up falling through before a deal could close.

He further noted that the sensitive nature of the home's tie to Baena's death made the marketing of it much more complicated than a "typical sale."

The “Dirty Grandpa” actress—who is expecting her first child with partner Chris Abbott—first put the dwelling on the market in fall 2025, sparking widespread interest thanks to its celebrity pedigree and dreamy old-Hollywood design.Realtor.com

"From the start, this was not a typical sale," Pennel explained. "There was a lot tied to the property emotionally, which required discretion, care, and a thoughtful approach throughout. Despite the complexity and public attention surrounding it, there was consistent and meaningful buyer interest because at its core, it’s an incredibly special property.

"The multiple cancelled escrows were more reflective of the unique circumstances surrounding the home than a lack of demand. Ultimately, when the final buyer chose not to move forward, ownership decided to reposition with a meaningful price reduction and relist with a different agent."

Though he is no longer working to sell the home, Pennel had nothing but positive praise for Plaza, adding: "I am grateful to have helped guide the property through an important chapter and appreciative of everyone involved along the way."

In March, Realtor.com exclusively revealed that Plaza had secured a buyer for the residence. However, by May 12, the deal had fallen through and the home was once again pulled from the market.

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

Plaza and Baena—a writer and director—purchased their home together in October 2022, paying $4.7 million for the Los Feliz property.

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

The Mediterranean-style dwelling, which features four bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, was built in 1928 and appears to have been purchased off market, according to Realtor.com data.

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

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

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

"This is more than a home ... it's a private sanctuary, 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, which is filled with natural light.

The bright and airy kitchen features large glass doors to the backyard, helping to create a seamless flow between the two spaces.

However, there are several pops of color throughout the abode, including a large pink couch in one of the living areas, as well as funky yellow-and-green tile in a bathroom.

Pink appears to have been a favorite hue for Plaza, with the primary bathroom painted in a very pale rose, while the primary bathroom also features fun lighting fixtures in a similar color.

The home also offers many amenities outside of the main residence, including multiple outdoor living spaces "designed for dining, lounging, and entertaining," as well as a stunning swimming pool that is nestled on a grassy lawn, with a canopy of trees providing natural shade for the hottest of days.

In one of the living spaces, an artistic arched window helps to emphasize the beauty of the home's surroundings, providing a picturesque view of the property's gardens—serving almost as a natural art piece in the space, which also boasts a cozy fireplace.

Arches run throughout the dwelling, from the curved front door to the arched doorways that lead from one room into the next in many of the main living areas.

Plaza and Baena purchased the home just over one year after they revealed they had secretly tied the knot, with the actress sharing the news in a May 2021 Instagram post in which she referred to her partner as her "darling husband."

Baena was pronounced dead on Jan. 3, 2025, inside the Los Feliz property he shared with Plaza, with the Los Angeles County Coroner later confirming the cause of death as suicide.Realtor.com

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

"I think that when you're with someone that is in your field, they understand what you're dealing with on a deeper level," she told People in 2019. "So obviously you are able to support each other and really understand kind of the journey that we're both on."

Baena was pronounced dead on Jan. 3, 2025, inside 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 deal with her grief, telling fellow comedian Amy Poehler that her devastation felt like a "giant 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, while she was doing her best to cope with each day as it came, processing the loss of her husband was a "daily struggle."

"Overall, I'm here and I'm functioning. I feel really grateful to be moving through the world. I think I'm OK, but it's like a daily struggle, obviously," she admitted.

On April 8, Plaza confirmed via her spokesperson that she is expecting a baby with Abbott with a source telling People magazine that she and Abbott "feel very blessed," adding that the pregnancy came as a "beautiful surprise after an emotional year."

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