Why did Diane Keaton put her Los Angeles ‘dream house’ on sale?
Diane Keaton had always been fascinated by her house in Los Angeles, but in March 2025, her decision to sell came as a shock to many. Speaking to People, a friend of the Oscar-winning actress shared that her health was not okay in her final months. The friend mentioned that she was surrounded by only her closest family members.
The source expressed that Diane’s declining health was unexpected, especially because she is known for her strength and spirit. The source added that The Godfather actress’ longtime friends were not fully aware of her health. According to a report by People, the declining health was the reason behind Diane putting her Los Angeles ‘dream home’ on sale. The five-bedroom, seven-bathroom property was put on sale for USD 29 million.
Diane Keaton once talked about her LA ‘dream home’ and shared how much she loves it
Earlier, in a 2017 interview with Wine Spectator, Diane shared that she always had an interest in homes. However, the Oscar-winning actress had consistently struggled to stay as she found something wrong with every property. But after shifting to her new and final house in LA, she found peace. She also described the property as her ‘dream home’. She was quoted as saying:
“Something’s right, because I love it.”
More about Diane Keaton’s ‘dream home’ in Los Angeles
Diane Keaton, the actress who won the Oscar for her role in the film, Annie Hall, had a great fascination with homes. After spending more than a decade, Diane found her dream place to settle down in LA. Dianne had spent 15 long years shifting from one house to another, before finally settling down in 2017. The Emmy-nominated actress’ Sullivan Canyon property in LA was a neglected home, and thus she had to renovate it. It took her eight years to complete the renovation work.
In her book, The House that Pinterest Built, Dianne highlighted The Three Little Pigs as her inspiration. In the book, Dianne mentioned a childhood moment, when her mom used to narrate the story of the three pigs, whose house couldn’t be destroyed as it was made of brick. That’s when little Dianne dreamed of living in a brick house.
Diane Keaton’s L.A. home, featuring burnt-red brick, wooden floors, raw concrete, and vintage touches, is a reflection of her signature New York style. She collaborated with a design team, using Pinterest to decorate every corner of her ‘dream home’, starting from the kitchen area to the wine storage. She used to share it with her children, Dexter and Duke, and her furry friend, Reggie.
