Marilyn Monroe stayed at the property in the 60s; It’s Her Centennial Birthday Anniversary
Palm Springs’ famous Marilyn Monroe Doll House, designed by Charles DuBois and built by the Alexander Company, has been listed for $3,300,000 by David Emerson, a Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialist affiliated with the Palm Desert office of Coldwell Banker Realty. Born June 1, 1926, Monroe lived in the home in the 60s, and this year marks her 100th birthday anniversary. Palm Springs Modernism Week 2026 was from Feb. 12 to Feb. 22, 2026. Later this year, the Greater Palm Springs Pride is hosting a Marilyn Monroe 100th Birthday Record-Setting Event on Saturday, May 30, 2026. Located at 1326 N Rose Ave. in Palm Springs, Calif., the nearly 3,000-square-foot residence has four bedrooms and four bathrooms.
“As global attention converges on Palm Springs during Modernism Week and public fascination with Marilyn Monroe reaches renewed intensity, this offering emerges as more than a home. It is a cultural artifact,” said Emerson.
Set on a premium, elevated lot, the residence commands sweeping mountain views and embodies the optimism, glamour, and architectural clarity that defined the era. The home has been thoughtfully updated while preserving original design elements that give it lasting architectural integrity. Vaulted ceilings, clean lines and expansive glass create light-filled interiors with seamless connection to private outdoor living spaces, including a resort-style pool framed by postcard-worthy desert and mountain backdrops.
“Perched above the iconic Vista Las Palmas neighborhood, the Marilyn Monroe Doll House stands as one of Palm Springs’ most recognizable and culturally significant residences,” said Emerson. “The home is a textbook example of Palm Springs Midcentury Modern architecture elevated by rare Hollywood provenance. This collector-level property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of American architectural and Hollywood history in one of Palm Springs’ most celebrated neighborhoods.”
