Tragic: Monroe was found dead in her bedroom on August 5 1962 after overdosing on sleeping pills
Monroe purchased the property, partially furnished, several months before her death for $75,000.
She opened up about her home in an interview with Life magazine in 1962.
'Anybody who likes my house, I’m sure I’ll get along with,' she told Life associate editor Richard Meryman.
Original features: The home has beamed ceilings throughout
Lots of history: The home covers 2,624 sq ft with a swimming pool and citrus grove
Private: The property is nestled in the upscale Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles
Hoping to make a profit: The home was last sold in November 2012 for $5.1 million
Reflecting on the interview after her passing Meryman wrote: 'It was a small, three-bedroom house built in Mexican style, the first home entirely her own she had ever had.
'She exulted in it. On a special trip to Mexico she had carefully searched in roadside stands and shops and even factories to find just the right things to put in it. The large items had not arrived -- nor was she ever to see them installed.'
Monroe died of an overdose of sleeping pills on August 5 1962. She was discovered by her psychiatrist lying face down on her bed clutching a telephone receiver.
The Hollywood star had only moved into the property four months before her sudden death and it was partially furnished
