Marilyn Monroe lived in 43 different homes in her 36 years, and this Hollywood castle may have been one of them!
Check out my Friday Find.
Tucked away in Beachwood Canyon, right under the Hollywood Sign, is Chateau Beachwood, a 1937 French Normandy-style building designed by architect Walter C. King.
Legend has it that Warner Brothers built this 10-unit castle to house its female stars. Rumored former residents include Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Madonna, and, of course, Marilyn Monroe.
If only these walls could talk!
The two-story condo offers:
- 2 bedrooms
- 2 bathrooms
- 1,333 square feet
- Two-story floor plan
- Old Hollywood architectural details
Walking inside feels like stepping back into another era.
You’ll find wedding cake plaster ceilings, ornate moldings, oak floors, and one of my favorite details — the very cool checkerboard kitchen floors.
The living room has a beautiful bay window overlooking the gardens, original built-in bookshelves, and a small alcove that would make a great bar.
Count me in!
Upstairs are two bedrooms, including the primary bedroom with two walk-in closets and a charming old-school balcony overlooking the treetops.
The second bedroom has oversized French windows, while the bathroom still features its original cast-iron tub.
Between the French Normandy architecture, Old Hollywood details, location beneath the Hollywood Sign, and stories of the stars who may have once called Chateau Beachwood home, this is much more than your typical Los Angeles condo.
It’s a little piece of Hollywood history.
This Chateau Beachwood residence is offered for $1,199,995.
