The property where the former model and actress died aged just 36 has gone up for sale for $ 6.9million (£5.4million).
The white house in Brentwood, Los Angeles, has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a gated entrance, large kitchen and an expansive back garden with swimming pool.
It was where Marilyn, real name Norma Jeane Baker, was discovered dead in August 1962.
She was found by her psychiatrist Ralph Greenson lying naked on her bed with a telephone in her hand after a barbiturate overdose.
Speaking about the property just weeks before her death, Marilyn called it: “A place for any friends of mine who are in some kind of trouble, you know, and maybe they’ll want to live here where they won’t be bothered till things are OK for them.”
Monroe, who grew up in LA, first found fame as a model before her short-lived film career included iconic hits such as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, The Seven Year Itch and Some Like It Hot.
She was also married three times, to James Dougherty, baseball star Joe DiMaggio and author and playwright Arthur Miller.
