Eight months after Diane Keaton’s death, her Los Angeles home — the subject of her 2017 book The House That Pinterest Built — has returned to the market at a reduced price of $22.9 million. The five-bedroom farmhouse, originally listed for $28.9 million last October, saw several price cuts before dropping off the market in February. It’s now back with a new asking price and a new listing agent.

Keaton paid $5.65 million for the property in 2011. She spent years reworking the 9,200-square-foot house, leaning heavily on Pinterest to shape its look. The actor described the result as “brick and steel and barnyard wood” — an industrial-inspired farmhouse with a black-and-white palette she loved. Instead she used the then-nascent image-sharing platform to collect reference photos and refine her vision. She told a design magazine in 2017 that the process felt organic, even obsessive. Her most extreme move: ordering 75,000 bricks from Chicago. “I fell in love with the bricks, and I fell in love with the mortar,” she said. “I wanted to have space between the bricks so they could have a life of their own.” She kept coming back for more, she recalled, and the sellers “probably thought I was insane. And maybe they are right!”
Price cuts and a new listing agent
The home first hit the market in October 2024.
Shortly after Keaton’s death at age 79, it was originally listed at a higher price, then dropped to $26.9 million. Then the listing was pulled. Now it’s back at a reduced price — a roughly 20% discount from the initial ask. Josh Flagg, star of Million Dollar Listing, holds the listing. He praised her design instincts, telling a celebrity news outlet that she possessed “one of the great design eyes of our generation.”

What the new price buys
The residence includes eight bathrooms, a separate guesthouse, and a pool.
The great room features exposed beams and French doors that open onto a brick patio. The kitchen has skylights, weathered metal light fixtures, and white brick walls. Throughout the home, flooring and fixtures stick to the black-and-white contrast Keaton favored. The property sits on a large lot in the Los Feliz area.
Keaton was known for her personal style — menswear-inspired, often monochrome — and that sensibility carried into the house. It’s not a soft, cozy farmhouse. It’s angular, industrial, and deliberately rough-edged. The brick walls are exposed. The steel beams are left bare.

That’s exactly how she wanted it.
The Academy Award-winning actor also wrote a book about the renovation process. In interviews she called the home her “greatest creative project.” Now the market will decide if someone else sees the same value she did.
