This magnificent mansion, known as “Hilltop,” has been on the market for ten years. Built in 1927 for Jules Stein, a co-founder of the Music Corporation of America (MCA), it has welcomed illustrious guests like Cary Grant, Rock Hudson, and Marilyn Monroe. According to a Forbes article from 2013, the current homeowners hired a prominent architect to restore the property in 2000 while keeping over 90 percent of its original elements intact. Notably, Marilyn Monroe’s personal retreat, “The Happy Hut,” still exists on the grounds. The estate includes a grand room, a conservatory, a study, ten bedrooms, sixteen bathrooms, staff quarters, a dock house, a showroom for car collectors, and a unique children’s bunk room featuring suspended sailboat beds! The property covers 3.12 acres and boasts a tennis court, beautiful gardens, and a spacious garden trellis. Hilltop has also been showcased in various films and television series, including HGTV’s Million Dollar Rooms. It is currently on the market for $8.9 million and is listed by Gary Doss.
