Diane Keaton’s famous ‘Pinterest’ home returns to market after death – realestate.com.au

One of the last homes Hollywood legend Diane Keaton renovated before her death has been put back on the market for $26.9 million.

The mention comes less than two months after the Annie Hall star passed away at the age of 79.

The Sullivan Canyon property — which was the subject of Keaton’s critically acclaimed book The House That Pinterest Built — was initially put on the market in March 2025 with a much higher asking price of $29 million. Broker reports.

However, it was quietly dropped just two weeks before the actress died of primary bacterial pneumonia.

Now the ‘rare architectural masterpiece’ that the Oscar winner spent eight years renovating has been listed again, describing the work the ‘Hollywood icon’ has done to transform the once dilapidated abode into ‘something truly special’.

“Located in the heart of the prestigious Sullivan Canyon, one of LA’s most revered equestrian enclaves, the residence is not only grand, but also extremely private and eclectic,” the listing said.

Although Keaton is not mentioned by name, praise has been given to the careful way in which she has overhauled the property, using the highest quality materials to create a truly artistic haven.

“The estate, featured in the critically acclaimed Rizzoli book The House That Pinterest Built, is celebrated in countless design publications and appreciated by those who recognize its artistry,” it continues.

“This residence is more than architecture and craftsmanship. It is a reflection of care, creativity and a life lived with intention.”

The latest listing also offers a much more intimate look from inside the property thanks to the new images added, which perfectly capture Keaton’s incredibly unique design style.

While the exterior has a very traditional red brick facade, the interior follows a much funkier black and white theme that runs through the majority of the main living areas.

“The estate is decorated with thousands of hand-selected vintage Chicago stones and a mix of reclaimed materials that define its unmistakable character,” the listing description reads. “Stepped beams frame the kitchen and living areas, setting the tone for a home that feels both distinctive and intimate.”

In the main living area, huge built-in shelves are adorned with all manner of collectibles and books, while the living room features a striking white brick wall that frames a huge fireplace.

The kitchen is illuminated with huge skylights that accentuate the natural wooden beams and give a beautifully bright feeling to the space.

One of the more unique rooms in the house is a circular room in which the walls are covered with the words from author Gerald Stern’s poem, Lucky Life, following the curve of the room as it moves around.

Another quote can be found at the top of the stairs, where the walls are covered with the words: “Look, we don’t have that much time.”

Throughout her career, Keaton — who had two adopted children, daughter Dexter, 29, and son Duke, 25 — moved several times, developing a penchant for buying older homes, renovating them and then selling them.

However, when she found her five-bedroom, seven-bathroom 1920s Sullivan Canyon residence, she explained that it was the first time she had thought about actually settling down in more than a few years.

Keaton spent a whopping eight years renovating the house, essentially rebuilding it from the ground up, a process she documented in her 2017 book.

The book focused on Keaton’s new love for the photo-sharing site and how it helped inspire her creativity when it came to designing the home’s interior. The renovation became even more poignant for Keaton as time went on.

While discussing the book’s publication, Keaton talked about how much she had come to love the house, admitting in an interview that she had struggled to ever find a house that truly felt like a place she could live forever — that is, until she came across the Sullivan Canyon abode.

She explained to Wine Spectator that she has always “had an interest in houses and the concept of home,” but noted that she had always struggled to “land and stay” because she always found something wrong with the property.

In the case of her Sullivan Canyon home, however, something was different.

“Something is right because I love it,” the actress said, calling the property her “dream home.”

The Annie Hall star revealed her purchase of the property was inspired by her love of The Three Little Pigs, which her mother read to her when she was a child – and which cemented her dream of living in a brick house when she grew up.

Although the home is located in Los Angeles, Keaton explained that much of the design was inspired by her former New York City apartment, a historic space in a 1930s Beaux-Arts building, where she moved in the 1970s.

“It was one of those remarkable apartments,” she said.

“There was a window on each side. Everything was wide open. That was the beginning of my real interest in architecture.”

When Keaton finished renovating the house, after being first introduced to Pinterest by her longtime collaborator, director Nancy Meyers, she moved in with her children and the family’s golden retriever, Emma.

Both of her children have largely stayed out of the spotlight, and Keaton explained that People magazine in 2007: “They have no interest in what I do, which I think is very healthy. We live a relatively normal, well, normal, life.”

Keaton adopted both of her children after moving to Los Angeles from New York in the 1980s, after admitting that she initially didn’t think motherhood was something she would ever be ready for.

“I didn’t think I would ever be ready to be a mother,” she told Ladies’ Home Journal in 2008.

“Motherhood wasn’t an urge I couldn’t resist, it was more of a thought I’d been thinking about for a long time. So I threw myself into it.”

But instead of creating a more traditional family home for her children, Keaton built several and purchased a number of homes – including several mid-century modern treasures designed by architect Lloyd Wright, son of Frank Lloyd Wright.

The first house she bought after returning to the West Coast in the late 1980s was the Samuel-Novarro house, a property designed by Wright in 1928.

She renovated the house, taking steps to carefully restore much of the original work, before selling it just five years later.

In 2007, she purchased another Wright home in the Pacific Palisades, undertaking an incredible restoration of the residence to restore it to its original glory.

Records show she sold the home in 2010. However, the property was last put on the market in February this year, before being taken off the market a few months later.
