One of Diane Keaton’s former Beverly Hills homes is back on the market for $25 million, just weeks after the acclaimed actress passed away at the age of 79. More than just a Hollywood icon, Keaton left her mark both on screen and in design, especially as a passionate restorer of historic homes.
A house with a story
The estate, which Keaton owned between 2007 and 2010, is no ordinary property. It carries the unmistakable mark of her taste: authentic, timeless, and deeply rooted in California’s architectural history. She purchased the residence, restored it meticulously, and then sold it to television producer Ryan Murphy for $10 million. Now, more than a decade later, it’s listed again, this time by Branden and Rayni Williams of the Beverly Hills Estates.
If you’ve followed Keaton’s filmography, you know how her characters often danced between strength and vulnerability. Her homes told a similar story — soulful, airy, a little romantic, always distinct. She once said in Architectural Digest: “My feeling is that you find an authentic house and, authentically, try to restore it.” That approach made all her renovations feel personal. You feel her in the walls.
A love letter to Spanish Colonial style
Originally built in 1927, the estate is a gem of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture — a style Keaton adored. I see that as no surprise. That mix of rustic grace and bold character matches her perfectly, both as an actress and a person. She never looked for trendiness. She looked for truth.

In her 1999 interview with Architectural Digest, she explained that her love for Spanish Colonial homes came from a deeper connection to California itself: “I’m in love with California and our history.” And this home echoes that love with every archway, terracotta tile, and wood beam ceiling.
That’s something I’ve always admired. While many might throw flashy renovations at a property just to make it “pop,” Keaton built stories into her spaces. She didn’t flip homes; she told their stories better.
A mansion built to live in
The property spans about 8,400 square feet and includes six bedrooms and nine bathrooms, making it luxurious but not ostentatious. This isn’t one of those cold, hotel-like mansions overflowing with tech and marble. It feels lived in, warm, and soulful — a place you could see yourself curling up on a velvet couch with a good script or a glass of wine.
Here’s what the estate offers:
- A pool and spa surrounded by lush greenery
- Full-size sports court for tennis or basketball
- A cozy fireplace and multiple indoor/outdoor lounging spaces
- Gym and wine cellar, both intimate rather than oversized
- Two-car garage and a separate guest house that keeps its charm
- Dining patios perfect for California sunsets
That balance of luxury and intention feels so “Keaton” to me. Even in success, she never lost her sense of place. There’s warmth in everything she touched. To read Toho expands into Europe with bold anime distribution moves
More than just a house
Over the years, Diane Keaton’s renovation projects gained a kind of cult following. She was known as a “serial home flipper,” but that phrase doesn’t do her justice. She wasn’t chasing profit — she was creating beauty. And I think that’s what moves me most about this listing: it’s not just a house on the market. It’s a part of who she was.
In films like Annie Hall or Something’s Gotta Give, she gave us characters who stayed with us long after the credits rolled. This home feels kind of the same way — like something she left behind with care, elegance, and a lot of herself.
