Diane Keaton’s former Beverly Hills home has come under contingent offer nearly a year after it first hit the market for $25 million. The late actress’ sprawling Spanish Colonial-style estate was most recently asking $18.5 million, after enduring multiple price cuts and repeated stints on and off the market. According to Realtor.com, the property’s listing has now been updated to reflect the contingent offer, although the final offer price and terms have not been disclosed.
Diane Keaton’s Beverly Hills home is under contingent offer
The 8,434-square-foot Beverly Hills residence, once owned and renovated by Oscar-winning actress Diane Keaton, has taken a lengthy journey through the luxury real estate market. The property was initially listed in October 2025 for $25 million, less than two weeks after Keaton died from bacterial pneumonia at the age of 79. Since then, the six-bedroom, nine-bathroom home has repeatedly gone on and off the market, accompanied by several reductions in its asking price. The estate was relisted at $19.5 million in May 2026, before another price cut in July brought the asking price down to $18.5 million. That latest reduction may have finally attracted a serious buyer. Realtor.com reported on August 27 that the listing had been updated to show the property under contingent offer. The specific value and conditions of the offer remain undisclosed. The current listing is being represented by Rayni Williams and Branden Williams of The Beverly Hills Estates, according to real-estate industry data.
The celebrity home once belonged to Madonna
Keaton purchased the Beverly Hills property for $8.1 million in 2007, taking ownership after pop icon Madonna. Keaton lived in the house from 2007 until 2010 and carried out an extensive renovation that transformed the residence while preserving much of its historic character. The property's celebrity history did not end with Keaton. Following her ownership, the residence was also associated with Ryan Murphy, the creator of American Horror Story. The Beverly Hills Flats estate has also been featured in Architectural Digest, highlighting the architectural and design significance of the property. For Keaton, however, the house was more than another luxury residence. It was another opportunity to indulge her longstanding passion for architecture, restoration and interiors.

Visitors entering the property are immediately confronted with Keaton’s distinctive design sensibility. Listing agent Rayni Williams previously described the foyer to the New York Post as a library and seating area where Keaton’s personality remains particularly apparent. “You walk into the foyer, which is a library with seating area, and you’re really enveloped in Diane’s energy because it greets you and that’s untouched,” Williams said. Williams also highlighted Keaton’s love of books and reading, saying that visitors could still feel the actress’ “heart and soul” in the space. That connection is particularly fitting given Keaton’s reputation as an architecture and design enthusiant. Her approach to her homes was rarely about simply modernizing a property. Instead, she often sought to preserve its history while giving it a distinctive personal character.
Inside the 8,434-square-foot Spanish Colonial home

The Beverly Hills residence was originally designed by celebrated architect Ralph Flewelling and retains numerous details associated with its Spanish Colonial architectural heritage. Among the property's defining features are dark wood ceiling beams, arched doorways, terra-cotta floors, wrought-iron accents and rustic fireplaces. The result is a home that feels both historic and highly personal, with Keaton’s renovation choices still evident throughout much of the residence. Natural light plays a major role in the interiors, while darker wood and architectural elements provide contrast. The combination gives the expansive house a sense of warmth rather than allowing its size to make the rooms feel impersonal. Several of the bedrooms feature fireplaces, while the office includes exposed beams and a tiled fireplace, reinforcing the property's Spanish-inspired character.

The home was designed with entertaining in mind, offering multiple spaces where residents can host guests. The formal dining room features warm Spanish-inspired light fixtures and a wall of French doors that open directly onto a courtyard. The connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces is one of the property's defining characteristics, with the courtyard providing an intimate extension of the main living areas. The kitchen similarly blends old-world architectural influences with a lighter farmhouse-inspired aesthetic. It features a dedicated dining area as well as space for a lounge, creating a more casual gathering spot within the otherwise grand residence.
The backyard feels like a private resort
Outside, the Beverly Hills estate becomes even more expansive. A tree-lined courtyard and Spanish-style fountain create a secluded setting, while the backyard features a pool and spa, guesthouse and sport court. The combination effectively turns the property into a private resort, offering spaces for both relaxation and entertaining. The guesthouse adds another layer of privacy and flexibility, while the landscaped grounds provide a peaceful contrast to the highly sought-after Beverly Hills location.
Realtor says Diane Keaton had a rare design aesthetic

For Rayni Williams, Keaton’s contribution to the property is what makes it particularly distinctive. “Diane was one of the most prolific architectural and design minds that we’ve ever seen in the real estate community,” Williams said. “There are only a very small handful of people that had her aesthetic.” That assessment helps explain why the property has attracted attention beyond its price tag. It is not simply a celebrity-owned Beverly Hills mansion; it is a residence that still carries the visual imprint of one of Hollywood’s best-known architecture and design enthusiasts.
The $6.5 million price reduction
The journey from $25 million to $18.5 million represents a $6.5 million reduction in the property's asking price—roughly 26% below its original listing price. The property was initially placed on the market at $25 million in October 2025. After several attempts to find a buyer, the asking price was reduced to $19.5 million in May 2026. The final reduction to $18.5 million came in July. Within weeks, the listing moved into contingent-offer status. While the offer does not necessarily mean the transaction is complete, it represents a significant development for a property that had spent months searching for a buyer.
Diane Keaton’s other iconic Los Angeles home sold for $18 million
The Beverly Hills property is not the only Diane Keaton residence to make headlines following her death. On August 18, 2026, the actress’ final Los Angeles home in Sullivan Canyon sold for $18 million. Known affectionately as “The House That Pinterest Built,” the property became closely associated with Keaton’s passion for renovation and design. She documented the transformation in her 2017 book of the same name. Keaton bought the Sullivan Canyon property for $4.7 million in 2011 and spent years turning it into her dream home. She ultimately listed it for sale in March 2025, months before her death. The residence was characterized by abundant natural light, large windows and open-concept rooms combining neutral interiors with more playful artistic touches. The listing described it as a residence that balanced history, craftsmanship and modern comfort, calling it the “final architectural statement” of a design icon.
‘The House That Pinterest Built’ reflected Keaton’s design philosophy
Keaton’s Sullivan Canyon home was arguably the clearest expression of her approach to residential architecture. Rather than treating a house as simply a luxury asset, she approached renovation as a creative project. The property took years to develop and became an extension of her personality. She once described the home affectionately, saying, “Something’s right, because I love it,” while explaining that it was the first of her many design projects that felt like a forever home. The sale of that residence for $18 million means another significant piece of Keaton’s real-estate legacy has already passed to a new owner. Now her former Beverly Hills estate could be heading toward the same fate.
Diane Keaton’s Beverly Hills legacy lives on
If the contingent offer ultimately progresses to a completed sale, the Beverly Hills property will mark another chapter in the dispersal of Keaton’s personal real-estate legacy. Yet the house’s most distinctive quality is likely to remain: the design decisions made by Keaton herself. From its Spanish Colonial details and dark wood beams to its terra-cotta floors, arched doorways, courtyard and resort-style backyard, the property retains the aesthetic that made it unmistakably hers. For now, the $18.5 million contingent offer represents a potential turning point for the historic Beverly Hills residence. After starting at $25 million and undergoing a $6.5 million price reduction, Diane Keaton’s former home may finally be on its way to a new owner, while preserving the design legacy of the actress who once called it home.
