The actress, Diane Keaton, bought this old home in a historic barrio here in Tucson a couple of years ago.  Not sure what she did to it or if she ever actually lived in it or just bought it to flip.  I wouldn't spend $2.6M for it, but that's just me!

I like Diane Keaton but not her taste in this house. There isn't any appeal  and I find it cold and blah.

Extremely unattractive.  Thank you for the experience.

I'm happy to see it restored, preserving history, but with all those doors, it looks like a motel to me.  

 

Inside too primitive and never did like this style.  

 

Despite not liking it for myself, it is an interesting house for someone.

True to southwest style.  It may be austaire because no one lives there.

I guess that just wasn't what I expected from a home in Arizona. I always thought the homes were more colorful and "homey" feeling. 

 

I agree that this looks like a motel.

Not my style at all.  Way too cold!

There are some really lovely old homes in the barrios of Tucson, but I agree, this one with all those doors, looks like a motel.

This was Linda Ronstadt's home here in Tucson (she's from here) that she sold a few years back, which I much prefer:
