Aubrey Plaza has relisted her Los Feliz home for $5.3 million after a previous sale quietly collapsed earlier this year, representing a $1.2 million reduction from the initial asking price. The 41-year-old actress first put the picturesque Spanish-style property on the market in September for $6.5 million, eight months following the death of her husband Jeff Baena, who died by suicide in the home at age 47.
Property Details and History
Plaza and Baena, a writer and director, purchased the residence together in October 2022 for $4.7 million. By March, reports indicated a buyer had been found, but the deal fell through by mid-May, leading to the property being withdrawn from the market before being relisted on May 21. The 1928 Los Feliz compound features four bedrooms, six bathrooms, a pool, and period details such as stained glass windows and terracotta floors.
The new listing describes the 4,064-square-foot home as being 'tucked away on a private street' in the 'coveted' Los Feliz Oaks neighborhood, according to Realtor.com. The property is marketed as 'more than a home ... it's a private sanctuary, brought back to life with care, style, and enduring character.' It is touted as 'a rare opportunity for those seeking space, seclusion, and authentic Spanish charm.'
Outdoor and Interior Amenities
Beyond the main house, the property offers several al fresco living areas designed for dining, lounging, and entertaining. A striking swimming pool sits on a grassy lawn, surrounded by mature trees. The kitchen is filled with natural light and opens directly to the backyard through large glass doors, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. Bathrooms are finished with custom stone and wood accents, while one of the secondary bedrooms opens onto a sunroom with its own private balcony. The home also boasts a screening room, a wine cellar, and a fully integrated, state-of-the-art sound system.
Personal Context and Recent Developments
The relisting comes less than two months after Plaza confirmed she is expecting a child with her boyfriend, Chris Abbott, an actor known for his role in Girls. Plaza and Baena bought the Los Feliz home just over a year after quietly revealing they had tied the knot, with the actress confirming the marriage in a May 2021 Instagram post where she described him as her 'darling husband.' The pair, who had been together since 2011, largely kept their relationship private before officially separating in September 2024.
Baena was found dead inside the property on January 3, 2025, with the Los Angeles County Coroner later ruling the death a suicide. Speaking about her grief, Plaza told fellow comedian Amy Poehler that the loss felt like a 'giant ocean of awfulness.' On Poehler's Good Hang podcast in August, she added that while she was coping day by day, it remained a 'daily struggle,' saying: '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.' She noted: '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.'
In April, Plaza and Abbott were seen together publicly for the first time since news of their pregnancy broke, attending the opening-night afterparty for the Broadway revival of Death of a Salesman at Katz's Deli in New York City. The couple had previously kept their relationship low-key, despite working together on the 2019 indie psychological drama Black Bear, followed by the Off-Broadway revival of Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, which ran from October 2023 to January 2024. Plaza later addressed her pregnancy for the first time on the Smartless podcast in April, revealing: 'There is a baby inside of me right now.'
