A stunning Los Angeles penthouse that once housed Marilyn Monroe is on the market for $1.9 million – after the seller knocked $1million off the asking price.
The stunning two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse in West Hollywood’s Granville Towers was designed by Leland A. Bryant, the gifted architect of the Sunset Tower hotel.
Marilyn Monroe is famous for playing comic ‘blonde bombshell’ characters – and once graced the unit with her presence.
The star is believed to have taken up residence in the apartment – which spreads 2,032 square feet across two levels – after splitting up with second husband Joe DiMaggio in 1954.
The penthouse sits within a seven-story French Normandy-style complex, located below the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles.
