Diane Keaton’s former home hits the market: an interior tour
For $25 million
A 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival home in Beverly Hills, meticulously restored by Diane Keaton, is now listed for $25 million, The Post reports. The listing appeared just weeks after the actress passed away at the age of 79 from pneumonia.
Located at 820 North Roxbury Drive, the approximately 8,434-square-foot residence was originally designed in 1927 by architect Ralph S. Flewelling, known for designing the Beverly Hills City Hall. Yet it is Diane Keaton’s touch that makes this house truly special. Beyond her acting career, she was a talented restorer and real estate investor.
Keaton dedicated years to painstakingly restoring the six-bedroom, nine-bathroom home, returning it to its original splendor. She preserved the high-beamed ceilings, arches, terracotta floors, and carved wooden details, while creating cozy and functional spaces full of character. A standout feature is the library in the foyer.
«You enter the foyer, transformed into a library with a cozy reading nook, and you immediately feel Diane’s energy – the space remains untouched», says listing agent Rainey Williams.
Throughout the home, Keaton’s craftsmanship is evident everywhere. In the kitchen, she seamlessly blended Spanish Revival elements with a light farmhouse aesthetic, creating a space that is both spacious and welcoming. The main living room, with massive wooden beams and a grand stone fireplace, is bathed in natural light through large windows.
For entertaining, there are two dining areas: a formal room with high wooden ceilings and Spanish-style lighting, and a more casual space adjacent to the kitchen. The formal dining room opens through large French doors to the courtyard, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.
The courtyard features a fountain, trees, a pool with spa, a guesthouse, and a sports court.
The total property spans roughly 21,500 square feet, with the main residence measuring nearly 8,434 square feet.
For Keaton, this was not just a house but a creative space reflecting her passion for architecture and design.
«Diane was one of the most prolific minds in architecture and design we’ve ever seen», notes Rainey Williams.
Keaton often chose historic homes in need of restoration, worked on them for years, and then sold them, moving on to the next project. In interviews, she admitted she spent a long time searching for the «perfect house» before creating her own «dream home».
This property represents the latest significant example of Keaton’s skill in restoring and reselling homes, closely followed by admirers of her real estate projects.
Keaton purchased the home from Madonna, who had owned it briefly. In 2010, she sold it to Ryan Murphy for $10 million, following an initial sale of $12.99 million in 2009. Murphy later sold the house to its current owners, Seth and Kaylin Wunder – a private investor and an artist – for $16.25 million.
