Dakota Johnson sold her West Hollywood midcentury modern home for $5,924,372, closing out a property she bought in January 2016 for $3.55 million. The sale lands just under $6 million and gives a clean read on how far the price moved from her original purchase.
Carl Maston Home in West Hollywood
The three-bedroom, three-bathroom house was originally built in 1947 and designed by Carl Maston. Johnson had renovated it with Pierce and Ward, and the home spans just over 3,200 square feet.
Ruby Fay of Engel & Volkers Beverly Hills held the listing, and the home went into contract within days of hitting the market. For a property that had been treated as a long-term hold, that quick turn suggests the pricing landed close enough to the market to move without a long wait.
From $3.55 Million to $5,924,372
Johnson said in 2020 that she would likely never want to sell the house, which makes the completed sale a sharper pivot than a routine asset move. She had described the place as her anchor, saying, “With my job and the velocity at which my schedule can change, it’s important for me to have a place to go to and it be mine” and “Psychologically, I’m moored somewhere. This place is my anchor.”
That view fit the way she used the home. Johnson bought it as her first significant purchase after securing the role as Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades trilogy, then showed it in a 2020 Architectural Digest photoshoot. She said, “I was immediately drawn to how it was clean but also cozy,” and, “I’ll never want to sell this place.”
What the Sale Leaves Behind
The math is straightforward: the sale price of $5,924,372 sits well above the $3.55 million she paid in January 2016, a gain of $2,374,372 before closing costs and other expenses. For readers tracking celebrity property values, the result shows that the house outperformed the buy price even after a long hold.
The buyer’s identity and the exact closing date were not included in the sale details, so the practical takeaway is the completed transfer itself. Johnson no longer owns the West Hollywood house, and the market now owns the rest of the story.
