With the use of red walls, multicolored wooden paneled floors, a green table and a sheep-shaped stained glass window, the living room is a recreation of a painting by Valerie Berlin Edwards, a Memphis artist. Her painting also shows an open door with sheep outside.
They even painted one of the bathrooms, pink and feature a large bathtub replicating a print that hangs there called “Bathing the Emperor,” in which a seagull washes a penguin in a bathtub.
The estate comes with some cool features such as a private stone courtyard and unobstructed views of the Mount San Jacinto, that’s located nearby.
