Property Detail
Description
Built in the 1920s for actor Orville Caldwell and set above it all, this Italian Revival villa carries a storied Hollywood legacy. Over the years, it has passed through the hands of artists, diplomats, and cultural figures, including caricaturist Cleanthe Carr and Rolando Dalla Rosa, the Italian vice-consul to Los Angeles. Its history lingers in the details. Set on a rare street-to-street lot, the grounds unfold in layers. Terraces, courtyards, rolling lawns, and a private backyard patio shaded by climbing jasmine and mature lemon trees give way to sweeping hillside views, offering both privacy and presence in equal measure. A detached guest house provides a quiet retreat for out-of-towners, creative work, or extended stays. Inside, the architecture speaks for itself: arched passageways, juliette balconies, and intricate ironwork create a sense of old-world soul that has been lovingly preserved. Ivarene isn't just a home, it's transportive to another era.
