A Beverly Hills house originally designed in 1956 by architect Wallace Neff for comic actor Groucho Marx has come on the market at $12.9 million.

The Trousdale Estates home, which has been redesigned and updated but maintains Neff’s original footprint, sits on a gated lot of three-quarters of an acre with downtown L.A. and canyon views. The one-story contemporary has five bedrooms and six bathrooms in slightly more than 6,000 square feet.

The original home was built for Marx and his third wife, actress Eden Hartford. He lived there until his death in 1977 at the age of 86.
