The late Diane Keaton‘s legacy as a home renovator continues as a home she updated has been listed for $25 million.
The Oscar winner died earlier this month from pneumonia at the age of 79. She was beloved for her roles in Something’s Gotta Give (2003), Reds (1981), Marvin’s Room (1996), the Father of the Bride films of 1991 and ’95, The First Wives Club (1996) and Annie Hall (1977), which earned her an Academy Award for best actress. However, she was also known for renovating homes. She earned the nickname of being a “serial home flipper” due to a long history of repairing properties.
One of Keaton’s former homes, a Beverly Hills mansion, is now on the market for $25 million. Keaton owned the home from 2007-10. Then, it sold to Ryan Murphy (creator of Monster, American Horror Story, All’s Fair) for $10 million. The home is currently listed with Branden Williams and Rayni Williams of the Beverly Hills Estates.
The actress made updates to the 1927 Spanish Colonial Revival-style estate. “My feeling is that you find an authentic house and, authentically, try to restore it,” Keaton told Architectural Digest during a 1999 tour of the home. “I wanted a Spanish Colonial because I’m in love with California and our history. I see it in a romantic way — the ’20s, indoor-outdoor living, arches, comfort. California has a wealth of beauty. My fantasy would be to continue to buy homes that are representative of the architecture of California and restore them.”
The L.A. mansion has six bedrooms, nine baths and is roughly 8,400 square feet. There’s also a pool and spa, sports court, fireplace, guest house, gym, wine cellar, two-car garage and several sitting and dining areas.
