Marilyn Monroe only lived in her Brentwood, California, house for about six months before her life came to a tragic end on August 4, 1962. The one-story hacienda-style house was built in 1929 and is situated behind tall gates at the end of a quiet cul de sac on more than half an acre of tree-filled grounds. The four-bedroom, three-bath home features a sparkling freeform pool, an expansive yard, citrus grove and beautiful views.
Located at 12305 Fifth Helena Drive, Monroe's L-shaped Spanish colonial originally had adobe walls and a red-tile roof. Instead of four bedrooms it had two, with a small guesthouse. To decorate in the house's style, Monroe went on shopping trips to Tijuana and Mexico city: tiles, tin masks, mirrors and textiles.
The following photos show Monroe's house in its present form, with a current list price of $3,595,000. Pictures courtesy of Realtor.com.
