Diane Keaton did more than make movies — she flipped houses, and one of her most striking projects is back on the market. The waterfront home in South Laguna Beach, California, is listed at $10.3 million, and it carries the actress's unmistakable design fingerprints all over it.
The property sits on a bluff in a small cove, with the ocean just steps below. Built in 1976, it spans nearly 2,700 square feet with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The standout feature is the water: practically every window frames the Pacific, including the kitchen sink, so even washing up comes with a view. Two decks — one off the living room, another off the primary suite — offer open sightlines over the water, which is standard luxury in this part of Laguna but still rare to find at this price point.
Keaton bought the place in 2021 for $6.6 million, gave it a full renovation, and sold it a year later for $7.9 million. Her signature black-and-white aesthetic remains throughout: black brick accent walls, matching fireplaces, and coordinating light fixtures. The current listing, handled by David Koffs and Brooke Wainwright of Luxury Realty, leans into the Hollywood connection, calling the home the personally renovated private retreat of an Oscar-winning icon.
The layout is deliberately unconventional. A two-car garage at street level on Table Rock Drive leads down steps to the entrance — this is a multilevel home built into the bluff. Inside, a gray-and-white kitchen connects to a dining nook, with the living room on a lower level to maximize those ocean views.
Keaton fans might recall this isn't her only Laguna Beach flip. In 2004 she bought a 1928 Mediterranean-style home in town for $7.5 million and sold it two years later for $12.75 million — a tidy profit by any measure.
For the rest of us who aren't shopping in the eight-figure range, the story still has appeal. Laguna Beach remains one of Southern California's most desirable coastal escapes, and the listing doubles as a peek into the neighborhood's lifestyle. The future buyer will be a short stroll from Coyote Grill, a Baja-style cantina known for calamari tacos and a happy-hour-worthy oceanfront deck. That's a reminder that some of the best travel experiences here are simple: a bluff-top walk, tacos by the water, and a sunset over the Pacific. Even if the house itself stays a dream, the stretch of coastline around Table Rock Drive makes a solid case for putting South Laguna on your next California itinerary.
