The Beverly Hills mansion where mobster Bugsy Siegel was shot is up for grabs...it just hit the market with an asking price of nearly $17 million.

The house is 7,092 square feet with five bedrooms and five bathrooms...and is where Bugsy was infamously shot 75 years ago, with someone firing an M1 carbine through the front window , fatally shooting the mobster in the head as he read the newspaper in the living room.

Bugsy never owned the Bev Hills estate, he rented it out to his mistress Virginia Hill when she worked for the mob...and his murder is still unsolved.

The living room where Bugsy was shot is split level with hand painted cathedral ceilings and a fireplace overlooking the property's patios and gardens. The home features white marble and wood floors, iron railings leading to the front staircase, and hand-painted tiles in the entryway.
