Description
Historic Los Angeles Landmark, The Rives Mansion. A true architectural gem in Country Club Park, the Rives Mansion is a grand Beaux-Arts Mediterranean estate designed by Alfred Rosenheim and recognized as Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #661. Built in 1913, the home is steeped in history and character, with nearly all of its original details beautifully preserved. Owned for over 60 years by the Sisters of Social Service, a progressive Benedictine order with Hungarian roots, the estate served as a peaceful center for community, reflection, and gatherings. Though centrally located, some say Mid-City, others K-Town or Arlington Heights, its position on a corner lot across from the park-like grounds of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet retreat center gives it a rare sense of quiet and privacy. It truly feels like an oasis in the heart of the city. Inside the approximately 7,000-square-foot main home, you'll find exquisite period features: a Louis XV-style formal living room, mahogany-paneled library, circular breakfast room with a 1913 Zuber wallpaper mural, solarium with green Grueby tile, four marble fireplaces, intricate crown molding and filigree ceilings, hardwood floors, stained glass, and more. The half-acre property also includes a detached 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom carriage house (approx. 1,770 SF) and a separate studio with office and bath. Upstairs in the main residence are six bedrooms and four bathrooms, while a 1,200-square-foot unfinished basement offers potential for expansion. The Rives Mansion has also made its mark in pop culture, featured in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Booksmart (2022), and as the backdrop for events hosting guests from Solange to Archbishop Mahoney.A rare opportunity to own one of Los Angeles' few surviving Gilded Age estates, rich in artistry, history, and soul. Disclaimer: there are 3 digitally rendered photos to provide a new look for landscaping around the front and a potential pool; the current condition is shown and there is no pool.
