During the pandemic, Diane Keaton ? like other celebrities ? started broadcasting short, three-minute Instagram videos from her very nice Brentwood, California, home. The house in question is an 8,000-square-foot brick home she designed and built in 2017 in what could be best described as a kind of sophisticated yet rustic ?modern farmhouse? style.
