Aubrey Plaza Secures Buyer for Los Feliz Residence Following Husband Jeff Baena’s Passing

Aubrey Plaza, the acclaimed actress, has successfully found a buyer for her charming Spanish-style estate in California. This milestone comes nearly three months after she reintroduced the property to the market with a reduced price tag of $5.75 million.

Initially, the Los Feliz home was listed at $6.5 million last September. This listing came eight months following the tragic passing of Plaza’s husband, filmmaker Jeff Baena, who died by suicide at the residence.

Despite its initial market appearance, the elegant four-bedroom house was taken off the listings after a few months. It made a return in January with a significantly lowered asking price, attracting renewed interest.

Recent property records confirm that Plaza has accepted an offer for the home. However, the exact agreed-upon price remains undisclosed at this time. The estate’s current status is marked as “contingent,” indicating that while preparations for the sale closure are underway, certain conditions must be satisfied before the transaction is finalized.

Plaza and Baena had acquired this picturesque Los Feliz property together in October 2022, investing $4.7 million into what was then a shared dream home.

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 new 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.”

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.
