The historic home hit the market for the first time in 67 years recently.

The interior and exterior were featured in several scenes from the film, and the home has been featured in Architectural Digest.

"The beautiful character and detail of this Spanish Colonial home have been incredibly well-preserved—from the original oversized wooden front door, the ornate fireplace, dramatic curves and arches, courtyards and patios, to the separate his-and-hers poolside changing rooms. This home is one of the best original examples of this wonderful architectural style still in existence in Los Angeles today," listing agent Susanna Nagy of Keller Williams Realty told realtor.com.
