Paul Reubens' Los Feliz home is for sale almost a year after the actor's death.

The property has 360-degree views of the Hollywood sign and the Griffith Park Observatory and it's listed for $5 million, according to the listing.

Best known for his portrayal as Pee-wee Herman, Reubens died at 70 in 2023, of cancer.  His 1957-built, midcentury, modest home is on the market for the first time in 40 years, according to Juliette Hohnen of Douglas Elliman, the listing agent.

The three-bedroom, three-bath single-story ranch home sits on 1.4 acres at the end of a private road.

Every room embraces retro vibes with whimsical wallpaper, wood-paneling, stone, and tiles, and endless windows showcasing the property's park-like outdoors.
