Movie icon Marilyn Monroe’s last home is on the market for $6.9 million. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house is set in the luxurious Brentwood neighborhood of LA and is described as an “authentic 1929 Hacienda”. With its swimming pool, citrus grove and guest home, the 2,624-square-foot property is steeped in Hollywood glamour. Listing agent Lisa Optican of Mercer Vine said of the estate, which is located on 5th Helena Drive: “When you walk the house and grounds, you’re immediately struck by its serenity and warmth. “It’s an absolute oasis in the heart of one of the best neighborhoods in Los Angeles.” Monroe bought the home for $75,000, shortly before her death in 1962 aged 36. According to a report in The Los Angeles Times at the time, the starlet was found dead in a bedroom of the home lying face down with a telephone receiver in her hand. The Some Like It Hot star talked about the home - which last sold for $5.1 million in November 2012 - in a 1962 with Life Magazine, which was accompanied by a photoshoot inside. "Anybody who likes my house, I’m sure I’ll get along with," she told the publication’s then-associate editor Richard Meryman. In Meryman’s essay about the interview, published just months before Monroe’s death, he described the house as “a small, three-bedroom house built in Mexican style,” adding that it was “the first home entirely her own she had ever had." "She exulted in it,” he went on. “On a special trip to Mexico she had carefully searched in roadside stands and shops and even factories to find just the right things to put in it. The large items had not arrived - nor was she ever to see them installed.”. 25 Apr 2017 Pictured: An aerial view of Marilyn Monroe's former home.
