About this property
Entire 1842 Downtown Home with Private Courtyard + Parking by Lucky Savannah
Designed as a southern retreat for its Savannah native, NYC-based owners, the home was built in 1842 and has been tastefully decorated featuring a mix of modern elements, locally sourced antiques and accessories, as well as custom pieces.
Set in a quiet, residential area of historic Savannah, this house is close to all of the action of downtown Savannah, yet feels so peaceful once you arrive from the hustle and bustle to your home away from home. Nestled between Washington and Warren Squares, this house is steps away from shopping on Broughton St. and the line for Leopold's ice cream, the new SCAD coffee shop and gallery, the famous Pink House, Cha Bella, the Lucas Theater bakery and cafe, and River Street. You name it and this home is close. Featuring a modern and open floor plan with a comfortable living room, dining room and kitchen, the home is sure to be the perfect spot for your next Savannah adventure. The owners enjoy hearing the horns from the container ships passing through and you can even glimpse them from the kitchen window. The private rear courtyard is the perfect spot for listening to the clip clop of the horse carriages, visiting with friends and family, dining alfresco, or just relaxing.
Upstairs in the primary bedroom a brand new king-sized bed awaits travelers weary feet and another bedroom used as an office and additional hang-out area with large tv and spacious desk features a queen-sized Mitchell Gold sleeper sofa. Both the primary and adjacent den feature custom California closets. This level also has one marble bathroom with a shower/tub combo. The top floor of the house with a new Queen bed, two twin beds and renovated bathroom, boasts views of the Cathedral and the twinkling Talmadge bridge at night and features original Jack Leigh prints, the famous photographer most known for his photo of the "Bird Girl," which was chosen for the cover of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
The garden apartment, accessed through the picket fence and second courtyard, features a living room, fully-equipped kitchen, renovated bath and includes a King bed and a bonus room with Full bed.
What is parking like for this home? There's designated parking space in the garage that will fit one small SUV, compact car, or sedan. For larger and additional vehicles, all other parking is on-street metered Monday-Saturday 8AM-8PM. There is typically also plenty of metered parking on the street outside of the home and in the surrounding blocks, as well as a nearby parking garage just off of Warren Square.

Beautiful home with cozy courtyards in a historic and beautiful neighborhood. Great location with easy walk ability to restaurants and parks. We would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful home - good location- safe neighborhood! It was too cold to enjoy the outside - the hot water is touchy and takes a few minutes to heat up- dryer takes a very long time to dry clothes - check-in and check out process very convenient-
Great home for group of friends to connect in Savannah. The home was so well equipped for our group of 7 adults, great location in the historic district to access everything but off the path of multitudes of tourists so it was quiet and felt like home away from home but UPGRADED!
My sisters and I brought our Mom to Savannah to celebrate her 80th birthday. We all had such a wonderful time together, and this home was a fabulous part of our time together. It was well appointed, comfortable and clean with so many amenities. Thank you!
8 of us on girls weekend. House is in a great location to walk to everything. Felt completely safe in the neighborhood. Large round table for chatting and eating. Bathroom on every level. Could use a little more seating in living room given the number of people the property sleeps. Super easy to communicate with owners. Would definitely stay here again.
We had 11 people staying with us in this beautiful and so incredibly comfortable home for our friends wedding! It was perfect for what we needed and provided a safe space for the grandparents and kids (in the garden apartment) also having the upstairs for the bridal party to live and sleep too! The home was gorgeous, inviting, warm, and parking and the location was easy and perfect! We loved everything about this house!!!

The house was perfect for our girls weekend. Location was great and everything was very close by and walkable. We were there in August and the top floor did get pretty warm but there are a lot of fans that help.
We stayed at the house with 8 family members so all of us had more than enough room. The house is in a perfect location to the river shops/bars and downtown. Very quite neighborhood and beautiful area. I would recommend staying this home with a good of 8+ anytime. There is 2 units in this house so if you use both units you have to go outside to go back and forth between, that would be the only downside to the home.

This house was beyond perfect for our girls weekend. Location was great - it was a 5-10 min walk to almost anywhere we wanted to go. It had more than enough bed rooms, the design and layout of the house was great. The hosts thought of everything. Our group was already trying to plan trips back with their own family and hoping to stay in the house again. We had one issue with cold water in the top floor bathroom, we called and maintenance came right out to fix it. Love love loved this place and everything about it.
This property is in the perfect neighborhood. Quiet and very quaint. Adorable houses all around. Yet, the house is a 5 minute walk to restaurants and shops and a 10 minute walk from the river.
Parking on the street was easy if you need extra spaces as we did. There is a charge from 8am until 8pm daily. Use the app for easy reloading of your time. Sundays are free. My parking total for Friday through Monday was $14.46 using the app. Not sure about the rest of my family, but probably similar.
Everything we needed was provided. We emailed for some extra supplies a couple of times, but got immediate responses each time.
A couple of excursion recommendations for larger groups...book a tour on the Savannah for Morons trolley. It's a PG-13 comedy tour through Savannah with a little bit of history and a lot of fun.
A half day at Tybee is a fun break from the bars and shopping. No more than a 30 minute car ride. I recommend the North Beach access at the Lighthouse and Museum.
Hope you enjoy your visit as much as we did.

Beautiful historic home and great location for exploring Savannah! The pictures are accurate...there was plenty of room for our group of 9 to gather in common spaces and spread out when desired. Lucky Savannah was easy to work with and even allowed us to store our bags at their office before and after check in!

We were 5 women celebrating our 45th college reunion. This home was beautiful and perfectly located!!
We felt so welcomed from the moment we entered this beautiful home. The home was beautifully updated and in the most convenient location! We could walk everywhere! The kitchen was well equipped for our 10 person Thanksgiving dinner. The round dining table was ideal for dinner and games later . Each guest had their own space.
The host was very welcoming when the front door wouldn't open and the codes were incorrect. They came immediately to fix the bed. The inside of the house was very nice and clean. There are a lot of stairs. The outside private courtyard was a mess and didn't look like the pictures. There was mildew on the furniture and the outdoor kitchen was gross. The was a door off its hinges laying on the concrete.

When we got to the house we had no working refrigerator lights that weren’t working and no heat. Come to find out the stove wasn’t working properly and it took forever to light the gas. The maintenance guy bought an over a little refrigerator, but that stopped working as well. I asked for a discount because of all our troubles and they still have not returned my call to discuss. The backyard pictures online are pretty, but it is nasty and you cannot sit out there. There is no propane for the gas grill outside.
Didn't stay there. The rental company called up the day before, 20 minutes before they closed to say the rental wouldn't be avaliable. AC problem or something. They offered us an alternate property that wouldn't have provided anything close to the desired experience do we canceled it. We did receive a full refund
