Inspired by the architecture of the Edwardian era, this historic beauty was built in 1905 by the MacKinder family and later became the home of Starr Baldwin, past publisher of the St. Helena Star. It holds a prominent place among the grand residences on the notable first block of Spring Mountain Road, just moments from downtown on St. Helena's coveted west side. The classic white shiplap exterior and generous wrap-around front porch sit gracefully beyond an expansive front yard and welcoming landscape. From the street, the home conveys the quiet presence and proportion characteristic of its era. Inside, the 3,506 sq. ft. residence offers the spacious public rooms, refined architectural detail, and tall, well-placed windows one expects of a distinguished early 20th-century home. High ceilings, original millwork, and oak and fir floors reflect the craftsmanship of the period. The four-bedroom layout includes a formal entry, an elegant double parlor with wood-burning fireplace, and a formal dining room with original built-in buffet. A light-filled breakfast room/den and a bright kitchen with white cabinetry overlook the gardens and pool. The four upstairs bedrooms retain their historic detailing and generous proportions Below, an old-fashioned basement includes a temperature-controlled wine cellar, adding both character and function. A detached 685 sq. ft. ADU, converted from a former barn, provides two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and flexible lounge spacewell suited for guests, extended family, or a private office. Outdoors, a broad and sunny back porch opens to a heated pool with integral spa and safety cover, surrounded by established landscaping. Boxwood hedges, crepe myrtle trees, and mature plantings frame the property, creating privacy and a garden setting that complements the home's historic architecture. Substantial in scale yet comfortable in feel, this offering is a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of St. Helena's architectural heritage in one of Napa Valley's most desirable residential neighborhoods.
