Marilyn Monroe House, Palm Springs
Throughout her lifetime, Ms. Monroe had lived in 43 different homes – some belonging to her lovers and husbands, while others, including this one, were mostly rented.
With its Spanish-tiled steps, black-and-white striped sunshades, abundant foliage, and gold-trimmed wrought-iron front gate, this charming bungalow-style dwelling, described as "the most beautiful house on the block", literally screams "fifties"!!!
The shrubbery in front of the property has grown considerably in recent years, blocking quite a bit of the exterior from view. But the home is surprisingly stalker-friendly otherwise, located very close to the street and with no gate or wall to block it off, either.
