Dakota Johnson’s Los Angeles midcentury home, once dubbed a leafy “tree house,” changed hands for $5,924,372, a figure that eclipses the $3.55 million she paid in January 2016.
Johnson bought the 3,200‑sq‑ft, 1947 Carl Maston house after her breakout role in Fifty Shades of Grey, seeking a permanent base amid her touring schedule.
She enlisted Pierce & Ward to re‑imagine the space, preserving glass walls, exposed beams, and a bold red‑brick accent while swapping the original cork flooring for durable hardwood.
Maston’s design, rooted in California modernism, had earlier attracted luminaries such as Richard Neutra and John Lautner; the property’s quiet, tree‑filled lot added to its allure.
The house entered the market listed at $6 million, and a buyer signed a contract within 48 hours, underscoring the rapidity with which high‑end Hollywood properties can sell.
Johnson displayed family keepsakes, including a note from grandmother Tippi Hedren, underscoring the home’s blend of personal and architectural storytelling.
