Matthew Perry Looking to Double His Money on Malibu House

Those Friends have some interesting architectural taste, don't they? No cookie cutter Mediterraneans for the Central Perk crowd. This pool-straddling number in Malibu belongs to Matthew Perry, who's been very busy lately buying and selling in the Hills and environs. The listing for The Pier House calls it a "landmark architectural statement," but doesn't actually mention the architect. The house has four bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms with doubles in the master suite, as well as a pool (with crazily-placed flatscreen), outdoor firepit, "one of the best movie theaters in town," and "the best window seat one could imagine." Perry paid $6.55 million in 2005 and is looking to more than double that--today's asking is $13.5 million.
