The former Hollywood Hills West home of American actor and comedian Groucho Marx has just sold for $3.81 million. The two-story, 3,700-square-foot home boasts a Hollywood Regency aesthetic and holds four bedrooms, four baths, and a powder room.

Recently expanded and renovated, the 1935-built house maintains a modern feel with elements like a den/library, a formal living room, a dining room, a wet bar, and a kitchen with a center island. However, a number of classic features remain, such as the original oak plank floors, and the herringbone design in the front hall.

The home references the whimsical and the ornate, with peacock-motif wallpaper in one of the bathrooms and a number of rather complex chandeliers. The master suite is especially noteworthy; the connected reading nook is a charming surprise.

The backyard features tall privacy hedges, a brick patio, a swimming pool, a raised spa, a shower room, and a sauna.

Marx owned the property for three years following his 1946 purchase. The actor is best known for his roles in the anarchic comedies he made with brothers Harpo, Chico and Zeppo, including “Animal Crackers,” “Duck Soup,” and “Horse Feathers.”
