Mr. and Mrs. Super Cool Are Selling Their Cali Home, Can You Dig It?

Share News:

Never in my life have I wanted to meet the owners of one of the houses I’ve written about until now. Not only do I want to meet Mr. and Mrs. Super Cool but I want to know everything about them. What do they eat? What do they drink? Where did they get their sense of style and sass? How and when did they earn the title of Mr. and Mrs. Super Cool and does the weight of that crown weigh heavy on their heads?

I should preface all of that with a tad bit of exposition. When I was growing up in the ‘70s, our neighbor across the street was, in my young eyes, super cool. By super cool I mean he had zebra pattern furniture, some furniture covered in velvet, a disco ball, and oh so much more. Yes, yes, my affinity for animal patterns and velvet runs deep into my psyche. I digress.

So needless to say when I found the house featured today, I was in awe.

My God, they even have a stuffed zebra on the zebra pattern carpeting.

The contrasting animal print with the white sofas, black walls and then the wood trim is sensational. Let’s get a better look at the fireplace.

It is the epitome of super cool.

In case you are thinking the rest of the house is just run of the mill, that the owners put everything into this one room, you would be wrong.

The kitchen is sleek and smart and the chairs around the dining room table have fur. That is what I call life goals.

No notes. Muwaahhh!

Okay, I’ll give you that this is a little much. I know this is a hallway but my knowledge ends there. I would get lost in this hallway.

The only things missing from the bedrooms are pink flamingos. If you have read any previous column of mine, you have stood a good chance of reading how much I love pink flamingos whether they are used for yard art or interior décor. I hold that bird in the highest regard possible.

Again, except for the missing flamingo, no notes.

Allow me to show you where Mr. and Mrs. Super Cool may lay their weary heads.

Is there such a thing as too much animal print? Don’t think. The answer is no. The answer will always be no. It’s no. In case there was any doubt, the backyard is just as luscious as the home itself.

Undoubtedly, Mr. and Mrs. Super Cool enjoy Mai Tais and cool breezes as they overlook their estate, as they should. One day I hope to grow up to be just like them.

    Jungle Room Solarium is my new life goal.

      Same. That life goal shows we have our priorities as they should be. Thanks for the read.

    Wait wait wait — there’s two RED PHONES, like, actual red phones, not a phone that is colored red. A stuffed zebra AND a couple of single-button red phones? Is this a secret agent’s house?

    • Mimi Perez on March 12, 2025 at 5:12 pm

      Yeah, I saw that too. There is so much cool stuff in this house like the phones and I have a word limit. Tortuous.

    I missed the reverse angle — there are FIVE red phones!!! This might be the house of a secret Bond villain.

      SUPER. COOL.

    It has a conversation pit. Like Fox & Jacobs homes built on the late 60s.

    Thunderbird Estates, the location, is pretty fabulous. But the exterior is a little “motel.”

      I didn’t think I could love this house more and then you tell me it’s called Thunderbird Estates. Of course it is! Thanks for the read. Have a great rest of the week.
