"The baseball great had owned the home, in the Marina area, since 1937, when he joined the Yankees. He had been living there and in a house in Florida when he died in March at 84. He also lived in the San Francisco house with actress Marilyn Monroe after their wedding in 1954."
"Monroe helped him wash his car in front of the house and sunbathed in the backyard, neighbors say. The marriage lasted nine months. DiMaggio's parents, brothers and sister also lived in the four-bedroom, 2,100-square-foot home at various times."
"The house has changed little since it was built the year DiMaggio bought it, but it was bolted to its foundation after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. DiMaggio spent considerable time in the home because his grandchildren and great-grandchildren live in the area."
Joe DiMaggio's San Francisco Marina home, purchased in 1937 when he joined the Yankees, is now on the market for $1.4 million. The four-bedroom, 2,100-square-foot house hosted DiMaggio's family members over decades and famously sheltered him and actress Marilyn Monroe during their nine-month marriage in 1954. The property remains largely unchanged since its 1937 construction, though it was bolted to its foundation following the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. DiMaggio frequently occupied the home due to nearby family members and his birthplace in Martinez. The article also covers real estate transactions involving actress Winona Ryder and entrepreneur Sandra Gooch.
