EXCL: Diane Keaton’s Beloved ‘Pinterest House’ Vanishes Off the Market

The extraordinary Los Angeles residence that served as the final home of actress Diane Keaton has once again been taken off the market, just five months after it was listed for the first time in the wake of her death.

Keaton, who died from primary bacterial pneumonia in October at the age of 79, spent years meticulously renovating the Sullivan Canyon abode. She even penned a book about the experience, “The House That Pinterest Built.”

Six months before her passing, the actress had put the five-bedroom dwelling on the market for $28.9 million. The listing at the time described the dwelling as a “visual treasure trove, where every corner reveals a multitude of intricate details designed to captivate and inspire.”

However, the dwelling was taken off the market not long before Keaton’s death—and ultimately relisted for the lower price of $26.9 million in December.

Now, the unique abode, which the “Annie Hall” star once described as the only place she truly felt at home, has once again disappeared from the multiple listing service. Property records show that the listing was removed on May 8.

Records show that the house is still registered to the same trust, which is listed under Keaton’s real name, Diane Hall, suggesting that its sale will be managed by her adopted children, daughter Dexter, 30, and son Duke, 26, who are overseeing her estate and are named as her primary beneficiaries.

Duke and Dexter spent several years living in the dwelling with their mother, who used the property as her primary residence after completing an extensive gut renovation in 2017.

Throughout her career, Keaton moved multiple times, developing a love of purchasing older homes, renovating them, and then selling them.

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

Keaton spent a staggering eight years on a gut renovation of the home, which effectively saw her rebuilding it from the ground up, a process that she documented in her 2017 book.

The book focused on Keaton’s newfound love of the photo-sharing site and how it helped to inspire her creativity when it came to the design of the dwelling’s interior. The renovation also ended up becoming even more poignant for Keaton as time went on.

While discussing the release of the book, Keaton spoke about how much she had grown to love the home. In one interview, she explained that she had struggled to ever find a property 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 homes 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 house, however, something was different.

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

The “Annie Hall” star revealed that 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 home 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 in a 1930s beaux arts building, which she moved into in the 1970s.

“It was one of those remarkable apartments,” she said. “There was a window on every side. Everything was wide open. That was the beginning of my true interest in architecture.”

When Keaton finished the home renovation, having been first introduced to Pinterest by her longtime collaborator, director Nancy Meyers, she moved in with her children and the family’s golden retriever, Emma.

Like so many of her other property projects, the Sullivan Canyon dwelling features a distinctive aesthetic, blending the most beautiful elements of the original structure—including exposed brick and dramatic wooden beams—with many modern design features, such as walls emblazoned with quotes from a poem and enormous built-ins filled with model houses.

While the exterior features a very traditional red brick façade, the interior follows a much funkier black-and-white theme that carries throughout the majority of the main living spaces.

“The estate is adorned with thousands of hand-selected vintage Chicago bricks and a mix of reclaimed materials that define its unmistakable character,” a previous listing description revealed. “Cascading beams frame the kitchen and living spaces, setting the tone for a home that feels both distinctive and intimate.”

In the main living space, enormous built-in shelves have been accessorized with all manner of collectible items and books, while the living room has a distinctive white brick wall that frames an enormous wood-burning fireplace.

The kitchen is lit with huge skylights that accentuate the natural wood beams and bring a beautiful, bright feeling into the space.

One of the more unique areas in the home is a circular space in which the walls have been covered with the words from Gerald Stern‘s poem “Lucky Life,” following the curve of the room as it sweeps around.

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

An office room has been turned into what looks like a living Pinterest board, with an entire wall covered in magazine clippings, pieces of art, framed photographs, and an enormous black poster with “1948” written on it in huge white lettering.

Keaton’s one-of-a-kind design style can also be found in another of her former flips, which is currently on the market in Beverly Hills for $20.5 million. Unlike the Sullivan Canyon home, this dwelling boasts a Mediterranean-style exterior, which is reflected in the interior design decisions.

However, it also features a space that has been decorated with a dramatic quote. Upon entering the dwelling, visitors are met with giant black letters that read: “The eye sees what the mind knows.”
