Paul Reubens’ Longtime Home He Bought with Pee-wee's Big Adventure Paycheck Is for Sale a Year After His Death

Paul Reubens’ Los Feliz home is on the market nearly a year after the actor’s death.

The comedian, who is best known for his role as Pee-wee Herman, died in July 2023 after being diagnosed with cancer. Now for sale is his 2,921 square foot home on 1.4 acres of land at the end of a private street in the Los Feliz area of ​​Hollywood Hills, California.

Reubens bought the three-bedroom property for just over $400,000 in 1985 with his film salary Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, his longtime personal assistant Allison Berry said for The Wall Street Journal. He lived there for almost 40 years until his death at the age of 70.

The home is listed for $4,995,000 with Juliette Hohnen of Douglas Elliman.
