Property Description
'El Retiro' - H.E.C. Webb Residence, designed by architect T.M. Webster. This distinguished 1911 historic sanctuary, located at 171 S Baldwin Ave, Sierra Madre, represents a remarkable testament to early 20th-century architectural heritage. Offered for purchase for the first time in over five decades, the estate provides an exceptional opportunity for discerning preservationists or classic architecture enthusiasts seeking to preserve authentic California character.
Comprising 2,507 square feet (taped) of living space, the residence is situated on an expansive 13,291-square-foot lot adorned with mature trees, creating a serene and private garden setting reminiscent of a historic era. Architectural features include a stately facade, custom built-in cabinetry, crown moulding, soaring ceilings, generous vintage fenestration, and an interior layout featuring original woodwork and abundant natural light. The substantial lot offers significant potential for cultivating a traditional English garden, restoring period-appropriate hardscaping, or constructing a complementary carriage house or artist's studio.
Situated within a historic foothill municipality recognized for its architectural tours, charming village center, and dedication to historic preservation, the property offers proximity to the boutique establishments and dining of downtown Sierra Madre, as well as nearby foothill trailheads. For buyers who value historic significance and distinctive character, 171 S Baldwin Ave represents a rare offering.
