Frank Sinatra’s former party house finally sold for $5 million on Tuesday, marking a changing-of-hands for one of the most filmed homes in America. The two-part deal added a 9-acre plot to the bargain, which includes the guesthouse rumored to be Marilyn Monroe and John F. Kennedy’s secret hideaway.

The L-shaped mid-century modern estate includes four bedrooms and six bathrooms across 6,661 square feet. Called “Farralone,” a combination of “far away” and “alone,” the home boasts sweeping views of a nature preserve from its 50-foot pool and lengthy pergola lounge.
The mountaintop home was built between 1949 and 1951 for a Chase Bank heiress by architect William Pereira, who also created San Francisco’s Transamerica Pyramid and the Los Angeles International Airport.
Craig Knizek and Blair Chang of The Agency led the sale.
