Highly upgraded unit previously owned by Ellen DeGeneres’ wife Portia de Rossi and attributed to another Hollywood blonde, the one and only Marilyn Monroe. Built in 1930 by famed architect Leland Bryant and converted to condos in the 1980’s, this spectacular French Normandy building is listed on the United States Register of Historical Landmark buildings. It is truly a part of Hollywood history with former residents including David Bowie, Mickey Rourke, Nora Ephron, Rachel Zoe, Brendan Fraser, Rashida Jones, Ashley Hamilton and so many more. There are only a handful of similar historical buildings in the area, including Colonial House and Country Club Manor, and they sell for a much higher price per sq ft.
