EXCL: Dakota Johnson Lists Longtime West Hollywood Home for $6 Million

Actress Dakota Johnson is preparing to part ways with her longtime Los Angeles dwelling: a stunning midcentury modern abode that she has lived in for the last 10 years—having purchased the property with the money she made from starring in the hit movie “Fifty Shades of Grey.”

Now, after just over a decade of owning the architectural gem, Johnson, 36, who is the daughter of Hollywood legends Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, has put it on the market for $6 million, nearly double the price she paid for the dwelling in January 2016.

Originally built in 1947, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom abode was designed by acclaimed architect Carl Maston and is described in its listing as a “masterclass in California modernism where warm woods, poured concrete, and wood-framed glass walls dissolve the boundary between indoors and out.”

After purchasing the home, Johnson carried out an elegant renovation of the property, working with renowned design company Pierce and Ward to turn the dwelling into her dream sanctuary, a project that she later showcased in a shoot for Architectural Digest.

In the 2020 photoshoot, the actress proudly revealed some of her most precious personal items that she had filled the home with, including a note from her grandmother, Tippi Hedren, an image from her appearance on “Saturday Night Live” in 2015, and artworks painted by the likes of David Hockney and Harmony Korine.
