Inside the $12.8 million property.
Every home has a story, an anthology of tales and happenings narrated by the people who once lived there. When it comes to a mid-century mansion in L.A.'s Pacific Palisades, which just hit the market for $12.8 million, the story is rife with star power. Located on a 1.4-acre plot of land in the Rustic Canyon, the home was originally built by Lloyd Wright in 1950. Yes, as in legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright's son. While the Wright of it all would've been compelling on its own, the house was specifically designed for Alfred Newman, an Academy Award-winning music composer who created soundtracks for classic movies like The Seven Year Itch and All About Eve.
Fast forward to 2007, when actress Diane Keaton purchased the home for $9.1 million and lovingly restored it back to Wright's original design—save for a few current touches like an updated kitchen. And now? A new owner will be able to add their own chapter to this property's rich history.
It's no wonder why this home has piqued the interest of Hollywood's finest. The 4,386-square-foot residence is packed with five bedrooms, three and a half baths, and A-list amenities like an outdoor kitchen, pool, and spa. Meanwhile, touches like restored wood, built-in furniture, and an indoor-outdoor layout give this home a Wright-approved edge. Keep scrolling for an intimate look at this revered residence.
With a set of low-slung bookshelves and a lengthy window seat, Wright's enduring influence is felt from the moment you step inside.
In true Wright fashion, the kitchen flaunts simplistic lines to put the rich materials (and delicious meals you'll make here) front and center.
The living room is the clear heartbeat of this Wright-designed home—and for good reason. This spacious area has easy access to the outdoors and a brick-covered fireplace, making it ideal for hosting, hanging with family, or chilling on your own.
Clock in some serious beauty sleep in one of the property's five bedrooms. A brick-laden fireplace and ample storage bridge the gap between functional and cozy.
Found: A home office that mixes business with pleasure. The property's previous tenants might've been busy reading scripts and composing music, but let's be real, this would also make for an excellent Zoom background.
At 4,386 square feet, this residence has a generous footprint. However, Wright certainly made the most of every inch with the sensible built-ins sprinkled throughout the home.
No star-studded home is complete without an excellent backyard—and this one delivers. The grounds boast lush landscaping and an angular pool that's basically begging to host a summer soirée.
