Diane Keaton’s Last Renovated Home Relisted for $26.9 Million
The final residence personally renovated by Hollywood icon Diane Keaton has returned to the market for $US26.9 million ($A41 million), just weeks after her passing at the age of 79.
The Sullivan Canyon property, famously documented in Keaton’s acclaimed book, The House That Pinterest Built, initially listed in March 2025 for $US29 million ($A44.2 million) before being temporarily withdrawn from sale shortly before the actress succumbed to primary bacterial pneumonia, according to reports from Realtor.
Now, the “rare architectural masterpiece,” the result of eight years of dedicated work by the Oscar-winning actress, is once again available, lauded for its change from a dilapidated state into “something truly special.” The listing emphasizes the meticulous craftsmanship and high-quality materials used to create a uniquely artistic sanctuary.
“Nestled in the heart of prestigious Sullivan Canyon, one of LA’s most revered equestrian enclaves, the residence is not only grand but extremely private and eclectic,” the listing details. While keaton’s name is not explicitly mentioned, the description highlights her profound impact on the property’s overhaul.
The estate gained recognition through keaton’s book and numerous design publications, celebrated for its artistry and thoughtful design. “This residence is more than its architecture and craftsmanship. It is a reflection of care, creativity, and a life lived with intention,” the listing states.
new images accompanying the listing offer an intimate glimpse into Keaton’s distinctive design aesthetic. The home presents a striking contrast between a traditional red brick exterior and a funkier black-and-white interior scheme that dominates the main living areas.
“The estate is adorned with thousands of hand-selected vintage Chicago bricks and a mix of reclaimed materials. . the listing notes that “Cascading beams frame the kitchen and living spaces, setting the tone for a home that feels both distinctive and intimate.” Outside, the home maintains a traditional red brick facade.
The project became increasingly poignant for the actress.
In interviews surrounding the book’s release, Keaton expressed a deep affection for the home, admitting she had previously struggled to find a property that felt like a permanent residence-until discovering the sullivan Canyon abode. She told Wine Spectator she’d always been fascinated by homes, but frequently enough found something lacking in potential properties.
“something’s right, because I love it,” Keaton declared, calling the property her “dream home.” Her decision to purchase the home was even inspired by her childhood memories of the Three Little Pigs, fostering a lifelong desire to live in a brick house.
While the design drew inspiration from her former New York City apartment, a ancient space in a 1930s beaux arts building, Keaton prioritized quality materials throughout the Sullivan Canyon renovation. “It was one of those remarkable apartments,” she recalled. “There was a window on every side.Everything was wide open. That was the beginning of my true interest in architecture.”
After completing the renovation, Keaton moved into the home with her children and thier golden retriever, Emma. Despite her public persona, Keaton prioritized her children’s privacy, noting in a 2007 interview with People magazine that they had “no interest in what I do, which I think is very healthy.” Keaton adopted her children after returning to Los Angeles from New York in the 1980s, acknowledging that motherhood wasn’t something she initially anticipated.
However, rather than creating a conventional family home, keaton continued to acquire and renovate multiple properties, including mid-century modern homes designed by Lloyd Wright, son of Frank lloyd wright.She purchased the Samuel-Novarro house in the late 1980s, meticulously restoring it before selling it five years later. In 2007, she acquired another of Wright’s homes in pacific Palisades, undertaking a thorough restoration before selling it in 2010. The Sullivan Canyon property was briefly listed in February before being removed from the market.
