Aubrey Plaza has sold the Los Angeles home she shared with her late husband, Jeff Baena, accepting substantially less than her original asking price. Plaza first listed the Spanish-style compound for $6.5 million in September 2025, approximately eight months after Baena died. However, the property remained on the market through several price reductions.

The “White Lotus” actress closed the deal on Friday for $4.375 million, according to property records obtained by the Daily Mail. Plaza and Baena purchased the Los Feliz property for $4.7 million in October 2022. That means its final sale price was $325,000 below what they paid, excluding renovations, commissions, and other transaction costs. The sale comes weeks after Plaza reportedly welcomed her first child with actor Christopher Abbott.

The actress reportedly first secured a buyer in March, but that deal fell through by mid-May. Plaza briefly removed the house from the market before relisting it for $5.29 million on May 21, according to Realtor.com. Another price cut followed in July as the asking price dropped by approximately $450,000.

Inside The Actress’ Spanish-Style Los Feliz Compound

Built in 1928, the 4,064-square-foot residence sits on a private street in the Los Feliz Oaks neighborhood. The compound contains four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and several original design elements, including stained glass windows, arched doorways, and terracotta floors. “This is more than a home … it’s a private sanctuary, brought back to life with care, style, and enduring character,” the listing stated.

It described the property as “A rare opportunity for those seeking space, seclusion, and authentic Spanish charm.” Large glass doors connect the kitchen to the backyard, allowing natural light to enter the space while creating an indoor-outdoor entertaining area.

The grounds also include a swimming pool surrounded by mature trees and multiple areas designed for outdoor dining and relaxation.

Inside, the property features bathrooms finished with custom stone and wood, a secondary bedroom connected to a sunroom and private balcony, a screening room, a wine cellar, and an integrated sound system.

The Home Had A Painful Connection To Jeff Baena’s Death

Plaza and Baena had been together since 2011 and privately married before the actress publicly referred to the filmmaker as her “darling husband” in a May 2021 Instagram post. The couple reportedly separated in September 2024.

Baena was found dead inside the Los Feliz residence on January 3, 2025, at age 47. The Los Angeles County medical examiner determined that he died by suicide. Plaza later issued a statement with Baena’s family describing his death as an “unimaginable tragedy.”

The actress remained largely private about her grief during the months that followed. She eventually discussed the experience during an August 2025 appearance on Amy Poehler’s “Good Hang” podcast.

During her conversation with Poehler, Plaza compared living with grief to standing beside a “giant ocean of awfulness.” “Sometimes I just want to dive into it, and just, like, be in it. Then sometimes I just look at it, and sometimes I try to get away from it. But it’s always there,” Plaza said.

She also explained that she was attempting to continue with her life while acknowledging the lasting impact of the loss. “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.”

The Actress Has Reportedly Welcomed Her First Child

Plaza’s real estate sale also arrives during a major personal transition. The actress reportedly welcomed her first child with Abbott during the final week of July. Plaza was subsequently photographed carrying the newborn while supporting Abbott at his final performance in the Broadway revival of “Death of a Salesman,” according to Harper’s Bazaar.

Plaza and Abbott previously worked together on the 2020 psychological drama “Black Bear.” They reunited professionally for the Off-Broadway production of “Danny and the Deep Blue Sea,” which ran from October 2023 through January 2024.

Selling the Los Feliz residence closes a difficult chapter for Plaza while she begins another as a first-time parent.
