Diane Keaton’s Annie Hall –Era Manhattan Apartment Is on the Market for $14.5 Million
An Upper West Side apartment once belonging to Diane Keaton has been re-listed at $14.5 million. The apartment, located in a star-studded 1930s Beaux Arts landmark called the San Remo towers, occupies an entire floor and boasts stunning views on all sides, with the kitchen in particular offering up spectacular views to the north, west, and south.
The unit is accessible via a private elevator, which opens onto an entry hall with a convenient butler’s pantry, featuring a wet bar. The foyer then leads directly to a wood-paneled library that overlooks Central Park. Built-in bookshelves and a unique lighting fixture help to give the space a kind of classic old New York charm, and there's also a bathroom off of the library. The apartment's corner living room is flooded with natural light thanks to the space’s many windows, and the white walls and coffered ceiling give the room an elegant, almost museum-like feel. The living room opens directly onto the formal dining room, which similarly features coffered ceilings and plenty of windows.
The kitchen is an undeniable highlight of the abode, featuring a dizzying black-and-white geometric tile floor, as well as a six-burner vented stove, two sinks, and a cozy breakfast nook with a built-in banquette. The master suite is located in the southeast corner of the apartment, and boasts a sitting area with built-in shelves, three closets, and a full en suite bathroom with a tub and separate glass-enclosed steam shower. Two additional bedrooms and a third full bath round out the unit’s offerings.
In late 2017, Keaton opened up to Wine Spectator about her love for architecture and flipping houses (she penned a book in 2017 about her love for design called The House that Pinterest Built), and credited this, her first apartment, as the inspiration for her current “dream home” in Los Angeles’s Sullivan Canyon. “It was one of those remarkable apartments,” she said. “There was a window on every side. Everything was wide open. That was the beginning of my true interest in architecture.” In addition to Keaton, a number of famous names have called the San Remo home over the years, including Barry Manilow, Warren Beatty, Glenn Close, Steve Martin, Steve Jobs, Bono, Steven Spielberg, and Tiger Woods.
