    Diane Keaton’s Former Beverly Hills Home Just Listed for $25 Million

    by

    Hollywood icon Diane Keaton passed away a couple of weeks ago, leaving behind a five-decade-plus career and legions of fans across the globe. The Oscar-winning Annie Hall star’s talents even transcended her acting career, with her architectural prowess leading her to become a prolific and design-savvy house renovator and flipper—particularly in Los Angeles, where her real estate portfolio has included a wealth of notable Spanish-style properties through the years.

    Before her death earlier this month at age 79, Keaton lived in a Pinterest-inspired abode in Brentwood that was for sale in March; but the property failed to trade hands and was delisted before her death. Before that, she resided in a Lloyd Wright-designed midcentury home in Rustic Canyon that was recently up for sale. She was also the onetime owner of this striking Spanish Colonial Revival in Beverly Hills that was just listed for $25 million with Rayni and Branden Williams of the Beverly Hills Estates.

    Keaton transformed the entry foyer into a cozy bookshelf-lined library with a sitting area.

    “My feeling is that you find an authentic house and, authentically, try to restore it,” Keaton told Architectural Digest during a 1999 tour of a Wallace Neff- and John Byers-designed home she owned at the time. “I wanted a Spanish Colonial because I’m in love with California and our history. I see it in a romantic way—the twenties, 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.”

    Keaton doled out $8.1 million for the 1920s Ralph C. Flewelling–designed dwelling in the desirable Flats neighborhood in 2007 and then joined with favored designer Stephen Shadley to undertake a meticulous renovation that was subsequently featured in AD. She transferred the place three years later for $10 million to film and TV producer Ryan Murphy, who sold it in 2021 for $16.5 million to the current owners, hedge-fund manager Seth Wunder and his designer wife, Cailin.

    Set beyond walls and gates on a hillside parcel spanning nearly half an acre, the celeb-pedigreed estate offers a total of six bedrooms and nine baths in roughly 8,400 square feet. A sprawling motor court and towering cactus gardens front the two-story residence, which boasts a mix of dark wood and glossy terracotta floors, exposed wood-beam ceilings, arched doorways, hand-forged wrought-iron accents, and period light fixtures. French doors open seamlessly to the outdoors.

    A central bricked courtyard shaded by pepper trees is bolstered by a bubbling fountain.

    A standout feature is a combination foyer/library that is topped with a groin-vaulted ceiling, wrapped in bookshelves, and bears the inscription, “The Eye Sees What the Mind Knows.” Other highlights include a living room warmed by a stone fireplace with a curving brick surround and a formal dining room that opens to an arched colonnade and a fountain-clad brick courtyard beyond. A family room and casual dining area connect to the kitchen, which sports an expansive marble island and stainless appliances.

    Two guest bedrooms can be found downstairs, while four more upstairs bedrooms include a secluded primary retreat that comes with a fireplace, a dressing room, and dual baths. A pair of balconies in the primary overlook the picturesque grounds, which host a guesthouse alongside a pool and spa, a sport court, and several sitting and dining areas. There’s also a gym, a wine cellar, and a two-car garage.

      The Beverly Hills Estate Where Twitch Star Kai Cenat Hosts His Livestream Lists for $195 Million

      by

      A famously over-the-top estate in Beverly Hills is back. Palazzo di Amore, a 25-acre spread above Coldwater Canyon owned by billionaire investor Jeff Greene, just hit the market once again, this time for a cool $195 million. Yes, that Palazzo di Amore, the same opulent megamansion where Twitch superstar Kai Cenat has been livestreaming with a revolving door of A-list guests since September.

      The estate has been on and off the market for more than a decade, and every few seasons, it reappears like a Hollywood reboot, with the same star power but a slightly different story. The current price tag makes it one of the most expensive homes for sale in the country.

      Greene, who now spends most of his time in Palm Beach, first listed the property back in 2014 for the same $195 million figure. At the time, it was the priciest home in the U.S. Despite an avalanche of publicity, it did not entice a buyer at that high price and was relisted in 2017 for a substantially discounted $129 million. It also did not sell at the lower price and later became one of L.A.’s most exclusive rentals, reportedly fetching $425,000 a year; Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is among those who’ve leased the fabled estate.

      The ballroom features gilt trimwork, inlaid parquet floors, and a massive bowl-shaped chandelier.

      And what do you get for the elephantine asking price? For starters, you get more space than most would know what to do with. Along with its 25 acres of land, the main residence clocks in at around 53,000 square feet. A vast entertainment complex adds another 15,000 square feet. Highlights include a vast ballroom with a stage, a 50-seat movie theater, a bowling alley, a Turkish-style spa, and a private disco with a rotating dance floor. A vineyard that produces its own Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese under the Beverly Hills Vineyards label is in addition to the swimming pool, reflecting pools, manicured gardens, and tennis court.

      Greene bought the property in 2007 after reading about it in the L.A. Times. Originally commissioned by Saudi royalty, the residence and its grounds were incomplete. “There were no bedrooms, no pool, no driveways,” he told The New York Post. “It was just dirt roads and a shell of a house. We went in and finished it… It was a gargantuan project that we spent years and years building.” He poured an additional $25 million into completing it.

      Among its many sumptuous perks is the lavishly embellished Turkish-style spa.

      And then came the Kai Cenat era. The 23-year-old Twitch streamer moved in for a monthlong broadcast, inviting Mariah Carey, Ed Sheeran, Kim Kardashian, and LeBron James to hang out and break the internet. All that online attention seems to have inspired Greene’s latest relisting.

      Erwin Nicholas of Mr. Real Estate, who’s co-listing the home with Patrick Michaels of LA Estate Brokerage, says Cenat’s livestreams gave the property a fresh kind of visibility. The Gen Z entertainer has a history of turning listings into viral events—he even streamed from Tony Parker’s former Texas mansion in collaboration with Nicholas to help market it. “People haven’t understood how powerful live-streaming is as a marketing tool,” he told the publication. “Everyone has definitely doubted it. It’s supposed to be so exclusive. But if it’s on the MLS, if it’s public, let’s be really public.” 

      Of course, even with all that buzz, a home of this magnitude and style only appeals to a tiny pool of potential buyers. Only in L.A., folks, only in L.A.

      This $20 Million Midcentury Beverly Hills Estate Hosted Reagan, Sinatra, and More

      by

      Before his death in 2005 at age 92, Armand “Ardie” Deutsch led a life of wealth and privilege as a Hollywood movie producer and the grandson of Chicago philanthropist and Sears, Roebuck & Company CEO Julius Rosenwald.

      The notably “friendly and unobtrusive fellow” also amassed a lengthy roster of high-profile connections, many of whom often visited him and his wife, Harriet, at this striking midcentury-modern home in the exclusive Gateway enclave of Beverly Hills. Think President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan, Walter and Lenore Annenberg, Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Stewart, and William Goetz, just to name a few. In fact, the attic is even rumored to still hold Secret Service tape from one of Reagan’s inauguration celebrations held here.

      The spacious great room has a sitting area, a bar room, and sliding glass walls opening to the backyard.

      Last sold to doctor and biomedical researcher David Agus in 2006 for around $3 million and subsequently renovated at his hands to the tune of around $4 million, the storied digs have now returned to the market for a dash under $20 million. Farrah Brittany and Mauricio Umansky of The Agency hold the listing.

      Originally designed and built for the Deutsches in 1959 by architect George MacLean and actor-turned-decorator William “Billy” Haines, the gated residence sits amid a hillside parcel spanning over one-and-a-half acres, in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains. Half a dozen bedrooms and 10 baths are spread across roughly 7,500 square feet, with four separate structures encompassing a gatehouse, staff accommodations, and a William R. Stephenson-designed guest and screening room building known as the Whim House that was tacked on in the early 1970s.

      A crimson-hued room in the Whim House addition features a screen that drops from the ceiling.

      Upon entering the main home, a travertine and wood great room is bookended by a den and a bar room, both featuring decorative fireplaces and floor-to-ceiling walls of glass spilling outside. Other highlights include a formal dining room topped with an ornate metal light fixture, an eat-in kitchen outfitted with a professional-grade Dynasty range, an office space, and a spacious primary suite flaunting a sitting area.

      Outdoors, the wooded backyard is spotlighted by a solar-heated pool, a fire pit conversation area, a treetop gazebo, and several spots ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining. Per the listing, architecture plans by Lewis/Schoeplein and Olson Kundig also offer the potential for future enhancements, with a certificate of ineligibility valid through Aug. 14, 2026, granting the flexibility to renovate without any historic preservation constraints.

      Mark Wahlberg’s Former L.A. Mansion Is Back on the Market for $21.8 Million

      by

      You might not have been fortunate enough to snag Mark Wahlberg’s chateau-style megamansion in the ultra-exclusive Beverly Park enclave of Los Angeles that was just up for grabs. It went to Paris Hilton for a whopping $63 million. Now’s your chance, however, to scoop up another Beverly Hills home the Oscar-nominated actor also once owned, this one requiring a substantially smaller outlay of cash.

      Wahlberg acquired the property in the posh Oak Pass Road enclave in 2001 for $5 million, added his own custom touches and upgrades, and sold the place 12 years later for nearly $10.3 million. He’s since left L.A., relocating to Las Vegas in 2022. The estate is currently owned by real estate developer Don Rufus Hankey, the son of auto-loan billionaire Don Hankey, who picked it up in April 2018 for $12.4 million and first tried to sell it in 2022 for $28.5 million.

      Now the Mediterranean-style digs are available again for a smidge under $22 million, with the listing shared by Weston Littlefield, Aaron Kirman, Daniel Milstein, and Gregory Ramano of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California.

      Originally built in the mid-1980s, the compound offers a total of seven bedrooms and 12 baths across roughly 14,000 square feet of updated living space. Glitzy amenities include a detached two-level gym equipped with a full-sized boxing ring and aircraft hangar doors spilling out to a sports court, plus a salon, staff quarters, and a fireside movie theater sporting a wet bar.

      Among the other highlights is a coffer-ceilinged living and dining area, which has retractable glass doors opening out to an expansive glass-lined terrace framing canyon views. An eat-in kitchen is outfitted with top-tier Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and a climate-controlled wine cellar, while a sumptuous primary suite comes with dual walk-in closets and baths.

      A grotto-style pool in the backyard has a cascading waterfall and a waterslide carved into the rocks.

      As for the picturesque grounds, they span almost two acres and hold a grotto-style pool with a waterfall and waterslide, an outdoor screening area, putting greens, citrus orchards, and numerous spots ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining with amenities like a wood-burning pizza oven. There’s also a detached two-bedroom guesthouse, along with an attached three-car garage and additional parking for up to a dozen vehicles.

      Heather and Terry Dubrow’s Beverly Hills Home Just Sold for $16.5 Million

      by

      Five months after it first hit the market for $25 million and subsequently underwent a significant price chop, Heather and Terry Dubrow’s sprawling estate in the mountains above Beverly Hills has sold for $16.5 million.

      They initially were going to give the place a total overhaul, but when the planned renovation came in $8 million over budget, they decided to do a quickie $45,000 fix-up job and sell. Taking into account the costs associated with holding and maintaining the property for a couple of years and the real estate fees, The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member and her plastic surgeon husband likely took a loss on the 90210 compound they acquired in 2023 for for $16.1 million.

      Josh Altman of Douglas Elliman California and Josh Flagg of Compass held the listing, with the buyer repped by Christina Pope of Sotheby’s International Realty and Gary Reavis of Forward Luxury Estates.

      The two-story traditional structure was previously owned by the estate of late filmmaker Martha De Laurentiis. She and her legendary producer husband Dino De Laurentiis, who died in 2010, paid around $2.8 million for the 1940s spread almost four decades ago. Before that, it was owned by millionaire restaurateur Steve Crane, the former husband of Lana Turner, who sold the place to Where Love Has Gone author Harold Robbins in 1978 for just $850,000.

      Tucked away behind a lengthy gated driveway and a spacious motor court, amid a bluff-top parcel spanning more than eight acres overlooking Benedict Canyon in the Beverly Hills Post Office area, the home offers five bedrooms and nine baths. Roughly 9,000 square feet is introduced via a soaring foyer sporting a sweeping dual staircase.

      Among the other highlights is a living room featuring French doors spilling out to an expansive brick deck holding a pool and a hot tub, as well as a fireside reading nook, a formal dining room, and a wood-clad kitchen outfitted with stone countertops, a breakfast bar, and high-end stainless appliances. An upstairs primary suite comes with a sitting area, a private balcony, dual walk-in closets and baths, a library, and a media room, while the picturesque city-to-ocean-view grounds also contain a kitchen setup, several alfresco lounging and entertaining areas, and a full-sized tennis court.

      The backyard is showcased by a large swimming pool and a vast terrace.

      As first reported by TMZ, the buyer is a non-famous person from outside the country who spotted the listed property on Instagram and reached out to one of the agents. Sources told the entertainment news outlet the buyer was in escrow to buy the house once before but backed out at the last minute. The Dubrows went on to snatch it up, leaving the buyer with some lingering regrets and vowing not to let it slip through their fingers again.

      As for the Dubrows, the couple still owns a ritzy Roberto Cavalli-designed penthouse in the Century City neighborhood of Los Angeles they paid Russian billionaire Sergey Grishin $14 million for in 2022. And though they sold their elaborate Newport Coast mansion known as the Dubrow Chateau three years ago to medical device tycoon Xu Hang for a record-breaking $55 million, they still maintain a residence in Orange County.
