This two story brick home including a walled garden and two car garage, located on highly sought after Jones Street, will enable you to enjoy and explore all that Savannah has to offer then return home to your secure and private compound. An antique wrought iron gate welcomes you, and your guests, to the outsize four season garden which runs the length of the house. An imported 100 year old English fountain, with small pond, provides a backdrop to a magical space including a gracious brick terrace, where you can relax and entertain in one of Savannah’s finest courtyards, filled with ever blooming flowers, fragrant shrubs and trees. This home, built in 1879, and cherished for almost 100 years by one family, has been reconfigured so that its open floor plan, with three sets of French doors, allows you to enjoy the views of your garden, and the music of the fountain, from almost every room. Twenty-two windows, dressed in elegant draperies provide for a light filled interior as well as a level of sophistication rare in a home of this size.

Your guest bedroom suite, including fireplace and bathroom, provides you with a discreet built in storage area and small office space. The picturesque mortared brick walkway in front of the house contributes to a lovely approach to your mini-estate and will never suffer the tipping that characterizes many brick walks downtown. Two massive magnolias in front of the house provide fragrant flowers in season while full beds of azaleas in the tree lawns put on a brilliant display in the spring. Don’t miss this opportunity to live quietly and entertain generously in the heart of Savannah’s Historic Landmark District.
