Marilyn Monroe party island up for grabs at £7m on the star's 89th birthday
SHE was arguably one of the most famous and beautiful women to have walked this earth, and an island Marilyn Monroe used to party on has gone up for sale today.
On what would've been the buxom blonde beauty's 89th birthday, a historic mansion - complete with a private island - has been put on the market.
If you've got a spare $11 million - £7.24m - why not splash out on this humble abode as a holiday home.
The romantic six-bed mansion is described as a 'colonial centrepiece' on Tavern Island, by estate agents flogging the lot.
The mega pad comes complete with three additional buildings and a 75ft swimming pool overlooking a secluded private beach.
As well as the main residence, the three-and-a-half acre plot holds a caretaker’s cottage, a teahouse and a boathouse for guests.
On clear nights the island enjoys the spectacular view of the bright lights of the Manhattan city skyline.
Marilyn Monroe wasn't the only A-list to enjoy the star-studded parties at Tavern Island, with Barbara Streisand also painting the down red here.
Located an hour off the coast of New York City, the $10,995,000 property also includes a mainland garage and dock, both of which can accommodate several vessels.
If you can imagine yourself partying away like Marilyn and Barbara, just hop on a boat and get yourself to this Gatsby-style mansion in New York.
Previous owner, Sandy Falconer, spoke about the property to the New York Times back in 1982.
She told the newspaper: "Being out at sea away from the mainland seems to magnify everything - the changing of the seasons, the drama of the weather, the wildlife and even the colours."
