Pereira & Luckman, architects famous for the Los Angeles International Airport, designed the Chatsworth, Calif., home.
By msnbc.com staff
If walls could talk, the ones in this 50s-era home would probably be slurring from all the highballs.
Frank Sinatra rented it in his Rat Pack heyday and sublet the guest house to Marilyn Monroe. It was the site of her last photo shoot and allegedly where she met the 35th president for an affair.
If it looks familiar, it may be because you watch TV or movies. It’s been a set in “Dreamgirls,” Usher’s “Burn” video and “Mad Men,” among many others. The latter makes perfect sense since the whole property is decorated in period motif.
The seller makes the case that you can bring in a couple hundred thousand dollars a year easy just renting it out as a set. That’s not going too far to offset the $12 million asking price, but you might not need the money.
Read more about the property at our partner Forbes here. They also have more pictures here.

They say sex sales - now lets see if this is the case here.
If John was hanging out there I'll bet it drove the secret service nuts.
Brain Picker, that would hafta be a whooooole lotta sex! LMAO!!
All of this would be humorous / entertaining, I guess. Except, for the fact that it has never been proven JFK ever had an affair with Marilyn Monroe. In fact, the main "accusers" of such goings on were, a mafia bimbo who's word is tainted, and J. Edgar Hoover who himself had a lot to hide. It never ceases to amaze me how Kennedy haters still want to trample on the man's grave, 48 years after his murder. Why don't we show pictures of the room in the White House where Sinatra diddled Nancy Reagan?
Ok, let's have an affair in a fish bowl. Typical Kennedy smarts.
Is this where the Bay of Pigs got its name?
I was shown a "good time" by mr. Blingrich! - Newtissa Pigg
I'm a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His and I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.
My past is redeemed. My present makes sense. My future is secure. I'm done and finished with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, or first, or tops, or recognized, or praised, or rewarded. I live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by Holy Spirit power.
My face is set. My gait is fast. My goal is heaven. My road may be narrow, my way rough, my companions few, but my guide is reliable and my mission is clear.
I will not be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed.
I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice or hesitate in the presence of the adversary. I will not negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I won't give up, shut up, or let up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of Christ.
I am a disciple of Jesus. I must give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes. And when He does come for His own, He'll have no problems recognizing me. My colors will be clear!
Ok Rusty. Thanks for that bit of insight, Now that that's settled we can get down to the story about that famous house in the article...
Whispering.... "(Hurry... someone grab that Striaght Jacket, whilst I grab and hold him down)"...
Hey are you that judge from "So you think you can dance..." You know, the one that uses big words that make no sense within his nonsensical comments? It's you huh!
Rusty Trombone is just letting us know he follows the Invisible Sky man and his "son" who believed he was a god.
Actually, Its Jesus the Jewish Zombie (look up Zombie, it fits perfectly)...
Way to go Rusty. You tell 'em. What prompted that? I used to have an aunt like that.
Rusty has told you what his goal for life is and will be.Now,it's up to him and his choices if he follows in the paths he stated.Now,for those who don't appreciate the man who died between heaven and earth,and paid the price of sacrifice with blood,then Rusty and I will see you on the other side.I would not have stood up to you people,but Rusty and I would rather be called stupid by you,than be in hell with you.Thanks,and have a nice life.By the way,Jesus IS watching you.
Rusty - You may have stumbled into the wrong story, but thanks for sharing.
srsmith - You shall be known for the company you keep.
So strange is the effect a full moon has on some people, not that I'm saying there is anything wrong, but strange none the less.
Methinks Rusty will be on the news soon....with a fuzzy picture. God made him do it.
THis is not an attack on God, it is quite obvious that he is either a obsessive sociopath about to blow. Or that he is just some kid seeking attention. I vote for the former.
Rusty, let me guess that you won't be buying this house anytime soon??
That's the nicest looking home I've ever seen in Chatsworth.
Chatsworth also happens to be the porn capitol of the world...
u ain't been in Chatsworth in quite a while.. an yes it is the porn capitol.. everyones watching also!
Looks like it was designed to be a convience store, or a Gas station. doesnt look homie. no taste.
I'll take it.
Do you think they will take 100 years same as cash?
I love it, and if I had the $$$$ I'd buy it!
$12 million? Pujols can afford it, now that he has a contract to join the 1% club. Its less than 1/2 year of his future income.
SOLD!!!!
Wow if those walls could only talk. Sinatra, Monroe, Kennedy. I am sure this is a case of what happened in Chatsworth, stayed in Chatsworth.. Very cool house.
With all those windows to see through, it's no wonder why Kennedy got caught screwing Marilyn.
Kennedy did not get
He was set-up by a friend of Sinatra's who taped their (JFK & Marilyn) escapades in his Malibu home.
Anything for a buck! Bad John! Bad Marilyn! good stories. but I'll wager it cost Marilyn her life, maby John too! Should have done like Clinton and used the Oval office.
He also used the oval orfice
I love this, but for 12 million it had better come with a personal window washer!
If you can afford the initial $12 million, you can afford a measly window washer.
It really is a beautiful atoll in the midst of all the madness. Wish it were mine. It's priceless.
Bulldose it down, it a worthless piece of rock! Who care!
I suppose it's an historical site, although with that kind of history...but aside from that, it's a nice design and probably worth it's asking price.
FABULOUS! Wish it were mine!
They called Newt and Cain Pigs but glorify the Kennedy adultry!
Only Democrats are allowed to commit adultery. Republicans get hung by their own party. Democrats expect that of their leader.
screw you @!$%#
D Buck- Republicans have sex?? Democrats are just sexy people!!
Scene this house in so many tv series, including "Moonlight" with Alex O'Loughln now on "Hawaii 5-0". Beautiful house!
So whats the rent on 12 mill ,I can afford 1,200 a month lol JK I just want to masturbate in/on the house and leave whats that cost ?
Scoop is Marilyn was an cia operative, so was our crooner - but under the influence of the mob - and much like The Firm, she was a hired 'bitch' to sew up the yooung president. He was dead within 3 months of making a public testimony on secret factions within our government - interlacing with other secret factions - throughout the world.
I thought it was related to his stating he wanted to dismantle the Federal reserve, before they stole ALL the gold in fort Knox.
Read the book "Doublecross" by the brother of Chicago mobster Sam Giancana. Tells it all.
So, the Recession' is over ? homes values piking up
Maybe Pujols will buy it :/
Why do I want a home where some one shacked up? Who cares, go to almost any motel and get the same ride.
I used to live on Dohney Rd., and every night I would walk my Boxer (Dog) around West Hollywood and parts of Beverly Hills.
One night the very perty Woman came along, and just fell in Love with Tiempo.
After that I met and walked with her every night, and she never told me who she was?
I finally recognizedher, but keep-ed it to myself (Norma was her name).
We talked about almost every thing, and we would shake hands/Hug and then later on a wonderful kiss.
That's how met Marylin/Norma
I could give a @!$%# where dirt bag kennedy committed adultery. What a scum bag
