The California Spanish Colonial-style mansion where the 1947 murder of mobster Bugsy Siegel took place is now on the market for $17 million.

The New York native was instrumental in the creation of the Las Vegas Strip, and according to The Hollywood Reporter, leased the seven-bedroom and six-bathroom home for his mistress, Virginia Hill.

It is perched on the west end of Beverly Hills on Linden Drive, sits on a half-acre of land, and boasts more than 7,000 square feet. According to its listing agent, Myra Nourmand, it stands in pristine condition even years after it first rose to popularity.

She tells PEOPLE: "Unlike so many others of that era, it has been beautifully preserved with original details, like hand-painted tiles and iron railings, yet complemented with modern amenities including a new pool and state-of-the-art appliances."

The current owners of the property are Beverly Hills-based plastic surgeon, Dr. Joel Aronowiz who has worked with celebrities like Suzanne Somers and his wife Fiona Chalom.

Once inside the home, visitors are greeted with a light-filled two-story foyer that contrasts the dark interiors famous for many old Spanish dwellings of that era.

The floors still lie with their original hand-painted tile, as do the stone walls surrounding it. The ornate wraparound balcony complements the home's architectural style with iron railings.

While the home still holds much of its rich history through its design, its bathrooms and kitchen feature modern appliances.
