The home boasts a uniquely designed, oversized pool, stained-glass windows, a number of stunning fireplaces, and a huge, fully-upgraded kitchen for Irmelin to create and entertain. This mansion even has a yoga room, creating the ultimate oasis for comfort, and relaxation. Multiple courtyards and fountains are part of the perfectly landscaped exterior of the home.
This incredible estate was previously owned by Modern Family stare, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and before that, Irmelin's hallways were graced by Gwen Stefani, who also resided in the mansion for several years.
This loving, generous gift is one that Leonardo DiCaprio's mom will surely appreciate each day, and treasure for a lifetime.
