At the rear of the house a large and bright gourmet kitchen is fitted out with marble, granite, and walnut counters, high end appliances including a 6 burner, double oven range, coffee makers and tea kettle, and all the pots, pans, dishes, and cutlery you should need. Adjoining the kitchen is an elegant half bath with Hermes jungle wallpaper. From the front foyer, the stairway rises up to divide at the landing. The left-hand turning takes you to the front of the house with two bedrooms, each of have which direct access to the upstairs porch. This is a perfect spot to sit in a rocker and enjoy afternoon tea or an aperitif. The master bedroom occupies one whole side of the house, its king- bedded sleeping area leading into a large marble bathroom. Here you will find a soaking tub and a separate marble tiled shower, and a large dressing room with ample closet and drawer space. On the other side of the hallway the queen room, with its private bathroom, also enjoys its own access to the live oak shaded porch out front. Taking the stairway towards the back of the house, you pass through a lockable doorway to a private hallway which leads you to the two rear bedrooms. One of these is outfitted with a comfortable king bed, the other with a day-bed which is also a trundle bed that can roll out to make another single bed. The desk and comfortable office chair in this room also encourage its use as a home office. These rooms, which can either function as two separate bedrooms or as a two room suite share a private marble bathroom. Go out the back door from the kitchen and you step into a private, walled oasis of sub-tropical serenity, with palm trees, bamboo, citrus trees, perennial flowers, camelia and gardenia bushes, and a large brick patio. This latter is complete with a wicker couch and chairs, a fire pit, and an eight foot teak table with umbrella, perfect for an evening dinner. To top it all off, this patio also fronts on a beautiful plunge pool/spa combination with an enchanting, Islamic garden-inspired waterfall - a perfect place to begin or end your Savannah day or simply relax with a cold drink on a hot summer afternoon. Surrounded by the sun-dappled, Spanish moss-draped, majestic live oaks for which Ardsley is justly famous, the neighborhood is a wonderful and serene garden. At the same time, it is surprisingly close to the historic downtown, Forsyth and Daffin parks, and the bustling and vibrant neighborhoods of modern Savannah.
