About This Home
Rare opportunity to acquire the iconic Kohlberg Residence, a true El Paso landmark designed by famed architect Henry Trost. Perched in a premier central location, this distinguished estate offers stately, panoramic views of Downtown El Paso and Ciudad Juárez. The home blends historic character with comfortable livability, featuring gracious formal and informal spaces, abundant natural light, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout. Expansive grounds provide multiple outdoor areas to relax and enjoy the sweeping city and borderland views. Very few properties offer this level of architectural pedigree, history, and presence. This was the former Mexican Consulate, and recently used as a Law Office, with close proximity to County and Federal Courthouses. The perennial favorite home on the Sunset Heights Tour of Historic Homes, the Kohlberg Residence is more than a home - it is a legacy property ready for its next chapter.
