This luxurious residential condominium is situated on the top floor of a corner building, offering breathtaking views of the City Hall Gold dome and a glimpse of the Savannah River through windows overlooking W. Bay and Whitaker Streets. The River Homes, formerly the site of the Savannah Morning News, comprises three historic buildings that now contain 20 residential condominiums. Unit 301 is one of the largest units and has recently undergone a full interior refresh. Upon entering the lobby, you are greeted by exposed brick walls and preserved relics of the building's history. A resident/guest elevator opens directly to the front door of Unit 301, providing a sense of privacy. As you step out of the elevator, you are welcomed by a private foyer that leads into a spacious entry hall and a gallery-style corridor, ideal for showcasing artwork. High ceilings and numerous windows flood the condo with natural light, highlighting the beautiful moldings throughout. The open-concept kitchen is perfect for entertaining, and a new, upgraded LG appliance package is being installed, including a counter-depth refrigerator, gas range, dishwasher, and microwave. The split-bedroom floor plan features two primary bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and walk-in closet with built-in shelving. There is also a separate private office/study and a powder bath off the front entry hall. This property includes one assigned parking space in a separately gated section of the nearby Whitaker Street Parking Garage. The location within Savannah’s Landmark Historic District is truly unparalleled.
