Marilyn Monroe’s LA penthouse has hit the market, providing a unique insight into the ill-fated Hollywood star’s private life.

The pad Marilyn Monroe moved into after her infamous break-up with New York Yankees star Joe DiMaggio has hit the market, providing a unique insight into the ill-fated Hollywood star’s private life.

The uber cool home has been listed for US$2.49 million (A$3.4m)

Monroe moved into the two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence in 1954 shortly after leaving DiMaggio.

The penthouse is located in the Granville Towers.

At the time, Monroe was becoming a stable of Hollywood movies whilst DiMaggio had gained a reputation of one of the greatest baseball players of all time.
The pair were only married for a year from 1954 to 1955 before Monroe ended the relationship.

Originally built in the 1930s, the building housing the penthouse features 40 residences.
