Despite renovations and interior changes, the property remains the same.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>In 2023, Roy Bank and Brinah Milstein acquired the residence with the intention of demolition, per PEOPLE. However, the L.A. City Council stopped the process by tagging the property as a \u2018Historic Cultural Monument.&#8217; As a result, Bank and Milstein sued the city and Mayor Karen Bass, citing that the designation was an unconstitutional taking of their private property. <!-- -->In May 2026, the court dismissed the case, but the owners reportedly amended the complaint.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/>While the current situation sparks controversy, Marilyn Monroe\u2019s residence was iconic real estate back in the day.

The 2,624-square-foot California house cost her approximately USD 77,500 in 1962. The abode featured beamed ceilings, terra cotta tile floors, a tiled fireplace and casement windows. Moreover, the exterior featured a yard with a swimming pool, citrus grove, and an apartment attached to the garage, intended to host guests and help friends in need.<!-- --> Adding the extravagant touch, Monroe personally travelled to Mexico to select furnishings for her house.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>When Marilyn Monroe said the doors to her house are open for her every friend<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>\u201c[It\u2019s] a place for any friends of mine who are in some kind of trouble, you know, and maybe they\u2019ll want to live here where they won\u2019t be bothered till things are okay for them,\u201d Monroe said during an interview with Life Magazine shortly before her unfortunate and untimely demise. \u201cAnybody who likes my house, I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll get along with,\u201d she added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>After Monroe passed away, the house was sold multiple times, and the owners tried to preserve its integrity.
