Marilyn Monroe’s former residence in Brentwood has hit the market. The owners are asking $6.9 million for the property, which Monroe had called home for less than a year at the time of her death in the summer of 1962.

The Spanish Revival dates to 1929—prime time for the SoCal style—and measures a little more than 2,600 square feet. It contains four bedrooms and three baths.

Surrounded by brick patios and walkways, roofed with terra-cotta tile, and set amid rolling lawns and mature trees, the home is certainly picturesque. The interior is filled with period features of the style—colonial chandeliers, a southwestern-style fireplace, terra-cotta tile floors, hand-painted tile accents on a second fireplace, and rough-hewn, open-trussed ceilings—and a few modernizations: most noticeably, added skylights.

The kitchen is extremely charming: with tile floors augmented by the stone countertops, and the sky-lit unfinished ceiling and simple chandeliers over the island and breakfast-dining area, it’s warm and inviting. Other noteworthy embellishments include the Gothic arch between the living room and main hallway: atypical for the style.

Monroe purchased the home for around $90K, on the advice of her psychiatrist. By all accounts, she loved the place.

Interestingly, the married actors who owned the home in the 1970’s found that the house had been extensively and surreptitiously wired for audio surveillance. Theories abound, but the most convincing places the blame with HUAC and the FBI: Monroe, by virtue of her romance with Communist-leaning playwright Arthur Miller, was considered to be a threat by association.

Monroe’s last film was John Huston’s classic ‘The Misfits’; the film was scripted by Miller, and cast Monroe against type, allowing her to explore a dramatic depth the industry had generally denied her.
