Marilyn Monroe's home could be demolished as owners file for Brentwood property to be torn down

The owners of the LA home where Marilyn Monroe lived before her death and where her body was discovered have filed to demolish the $8.35million bungalow.

The Brentwood Hacienda-style home is best known as the last residence of the 'Some Like It Hot' star.

According to records from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, the new owners of the home officially filed a plan to tear down the estate in August.

The city gave a green light for investigators to check the plan for demolishment but a formal permit has yet to be granted by officials, records show.

Monroe purchased the home in February 1962 for $77,500 - equivalent to about $790,000 today after accounting for inflation.

Her lifeless body was discovered just six months later on August 5. The icon had died of a barbiturate overdose at just 36 years old.

The most recent owners of the 2,900 square foot home first filed a request to demolish not only the home but the attached pool house and structures on July 31.

The request was then submitted on August 7 and officially approved for a 'plan check' by an inspector on September 5.

The home was last publicly on the market in 2017 and sold for $7.25 million.

The home was originally built in 1929 and has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and is located on the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the upscale Brentwood neighborhood.
