Diane Keaton slashed $1.4 Million off the asking price of the Los Angeles mansion that inspired her How-To book The House that Pinterest Built.
Keaton, 79, cut the price tag on the 1920s-style Sullivan Canyon residence only six weeks after she initially listed it for $28.9 million, according to Realtor.com. Her decision is surprising since she documented the home’s painstaking, multi-year renovation in her 2017 design guide.
The sprawling 9,200 square foot residence — now listed for $27.5 million — includes five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, as well as an impressive 360-degree view of Los Angeles. Any potential buyer will be able to enjoy luxury amenities like an outdoor pool, wine storage capability, multiple fireplaces and angled skylights over the kitchen.
“Nestled in prestigious Sullivan Canyon, this grand private and gated estate is a visual treasure trove, where every corner reveals a multitude of intricate details designed to captivate and inspire,” the listing reads. “The sprawling brick structure exudes timeless elegance, enhanced by reclaimed features that pay homage to classic craftsmanship while embracing modern sophistication.”
Diane Keaton has been captivating viewers since the 1970s — and she shows no signs of stopping. Following her theatrical debut in the original 1968 production of Broadway’s Hair, Keaton turned to film. Her first role was in 1970’s Lovers and Other Strangers, two years before she got her big break in Francis Ford Coppola’s […]
Us Weekly has reached out to Keaton’s representatives for more information.
According to reports, Keaton paid $4.7 million for the Sullivan Canyon home in 2011 before embarking on an ambitious renovation process. She finally moved in in 2017.
Keaton took advice from her friend and frequent collaborator, writer-director Nancy Meyers, to use Pinterest while planning her remodel.
“If you want to explore. If you love to see. If you’re looking to look; this book is an example of a home made from the gifts of other people’s addictive yearnings for the perfect home, with the perfect landscape and the perfect interior,” she wrote in her description of the book The House that Pinterest Built.
Keaton went on, “It illustrates my choices of your choices. Who knows, you might find one of your pins here. You might smile. You might shake your head and say, ‘This isn’t what I had in mind.’ You might think: ‘Hey that’s my kitchen. She copied my kitchen.’ But the truth is, as much as I tried, I could never entirely recreate the light filled photograph of a kitchen that led the way to the journey that brought me here. No one can.”

She wrote in The House that Pinterest Built that the home’s red brick design partially inspired her purchase because she’d always loved the children’s story The Three Little Pigs.
“[The pigs’ house] was made of bricks,” she wrote in her book. “I knew I was going to live in a brick house when I grew up.”
In a 2017 Architectural Digest interview, Keaton recalled how “soothing” it was to learn from other people’s design choices during her own renovation.
“I’m still in love with it; I’m still in love with Pinterest!” she exclaimed happily. “To me, it’s soothing, because you’re also on a hunt. It leads to something else, and that leads to something else, and it just goes on and on. And that’s the light you want — the light from the computer. It just makes everything look better.”
Diane Keaton is a fan of Katie Maloney and Ariana Madix‘s Something About Her sandwich shop. The legendary actress, 78, stopped by the Vanderpump Rules stars’ new West Hollywood restaurant recently, where she posed with Katie’s mom, Teri Maloney. “We had an unexpected visitor today… thank you @dianekeaton for your support!” the official Something About […]
Speaking to Wine Spectator in November 2017, Keaton reflected on frequently moving throughout her life. (Keaton was born in Los Angeles but later moved to New York City to study acting.)
“I always had an interest in homes and the concept of home, but the problem is I never really land and stay. Something’s wrong … but something’s right [this time], because I love it,” she said.
Keaton shares her Los Angeles “dream home” with daughter Dexter, born 1995, and son Duke, born 2000, as well as her Golden Retriever dog, Emma.
