La Boheme was owned by the the late dramatic actor and muscian Joseph Mascolo, best known for playing Stefano DiMera, a soap opera villain on Days of Our Lives. The gated, one-acre estate takes its name from Puccini's opera; Mascolo, a talented clarinetist, played for two years at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, and his love for opera shows in the architecture of the home. The front facade's overture-dramatic gables overlooking the welcoming porte cochere and terraced courtyard opens to the grandeur of the great room. Its cathedral ceiling and tall, arched windows are framed like a stage set by a magnificent, curved stairway. The opulent interiors include a formal dining room, gourmet kitchen, a lavish master suite, and three additional bedrooms. The rear terrace leads to the single-slip boat dock and dock house on a sheltered cove of Lake Arrowhead.
