Marilyn Monroe’s Los Angeles home headed for demolition
The charge
Located at 12305 Fifth Helena Drive in the exclusive Los Angeles neighborhood, the historic Brentwood lodges were mentioned in a recent demolition permit filed by the abode’s current owner.
The one-story farm is a hacienda-style home and sits on 2,900 square feet at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac adjacent to San Vicente Boulevard. The house recently changed owners for an undisclosed amount, estimated to be around $8.45 million (more than Rs 69 crore).
On September 5, the city’s Department of Building and Safety gave the green light to a plan to remodel the property. This permit marked the initial steps of the demolition. However, the final formal go-ahead has yet to be given for the demolition of the iconic property where tragic endings unfolded.

The house is a residence built in 1929. Its quaint design features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a host of unique architectural elements, including beamed ceilings, terracotta tile floors, and casement windows that give off coveted Old Hollywood vibes.
The classic estate also features a lush lawn, swimming pool, and citrus garden that enhance its timeless charm. Although many things in the house remained the same as in Monroe’s original choices, the kitchen and bathrooms had already undergone a transformation beyond recognition.
In February 1962, Monroe first purchased the house for about $77,500, which is equivalent to almost $790,000 in today’s economy. However, Monroe did not spend much time in the house because, just six months after living at the estate, Marily was found dead in her chambers after losing her life from a barbiturate overdose at the age of 36.
