A stunning Los Angeles penthouse where Marilyn Monroe once lived is up for sale for $1.9 million after the seller knocked $1 million off its asking price.
The stunning two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse at West Hollywood’s Granville Towers was designed by Leland A. Bryant, the gifted architect of the Sunset Tower hotel.
Marilyn Monroe is known for playing comedic “blonde bombshell” characters – and once graced the unit with her presence.
The star is believed to have moved into the apartment — which is 2,032 square feet on two floors — after splitting from second husband Joe DiMaggio in 1954.
The penthouse is located in a seven-story French Normandy-style complex located below the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles.
