The beloved Hollywood actress Diane Keaton's most treasured Los Angeles residence has been put up for sale with an asking price of $26.9 million. The listing comes just under two months after the Oscar-winning star's sudden passing in October 2025 at the age of 79 from pneumonia.
A Personal Project and 'Dream Home'
Keaton, renowned for her roles in Annie Hall and The Godfather, originally purchased the Sullivan Canyon property in 2011 for $4.7 million. A seasoned property renovator, she then spent eight years personally overseeing its transformation into what she described as her "dream home". The project was so significant to her that it became the subject of her 2017 book, The House that Pinterest Built.
In the book, she revealed her unusual inspiration for the decor: the children's fable The Three Little Pigs. Keaton wrote that because the third pig's brick house was indestructible, "I knew I was going to live in a brick house when I grew up." The 9,206-square-foot home, built in 2015, is a distinctive blend of industrial steel and ranch-style architecture, featuring white walls and exposed wood beams.
Property Details and Market History
The expansive estate boasts five bedrooms, six full and two half bathrooms. Its standout amenities include:
- A separate guest house
- A library
- A chef-style kitchen with skylights and a large island
- An in-ground backyard pool and hot tub
Keaton had initially listed the home for $29 million earlier in 2025. After a price reduction in May, it was temporarily withdrawn from the market in September. Following her death, the property has been relisted by agent Andrew Gulyas of Destination Home, Inc. at the current price of $26.9 million.
A Favourite Room and Lasting Legacy
In an interview with Wine Spectator, Keaton declared her favourite room was "that damn kitchen." The space is adorned with large metal light fixtures and features a farmhouse sink and commercial-sized refrigerators. One of the home's unique rooms is semi-circular, with a single armchair and a wall featuring text from Gerald Stern's 1977 poem "Lucky Life."
Keaton collaborated with architect David Takacs and designers Stephen Shadley, Cynthia Carlson, and Toben Windahl to create the eclectic abode. She moved into the finished home in 2015 with her two children, Dexter and Duke. Despite owning several properties in California, she considered this her pride and joy, finally finding a permanent place where she could "land and stay."
The sale of this deeply personal property marks a poignant chapter following the loss of an iconic figure in film, whose career spanned over five decades and included legendary collaborations with director Woody Allen.
