Listing of the Day
Location: Savannah, Georgia
Price: $6.475 million
Overlooking Monterey Square, this 1855 brick home in the heart of Savannah’s National Historic Landmark District offers a separate apartment, a two-car garage, private outdoor spaces and an elevator that runs throughout the four levels.
“This is one of those houses that checks all of the boxes for buyers looking for a home in the Historic District,” said listing agent Staci Donegan, of Seabolt Real Estate, Christie’s International Real Estate. “Stucco and brick exterior facades are so sought after.”
The eat-in kitchen is at the back of the parlor level.

While many of the homes in the Landmark District are attached townhouses, this is a free-standing house, which means residents have windows on all four sides and lots of natural light, she said.
It also features hand-painted walls by Bob Christian, a Savannah-based artist known for his murals, along with high ceilings, original heart pine floors, plasterwork and custom lacquered finishes, according to the listing.

The home also has lots of outdoor space. “Not only is there a courtyard on the garden level, but there are three private rooftop terraces,” including one above the garage, she said. “Each floor has a private terrace.”
The garden level features an apartment with a separate entrance, a fully equipped kitchen, a living area with exposed brick, one bedroom, a full bathroom and a storage room that could be another bedroom, she said.
Residents can also access the apartment from the interior staircase, she said. “This provides a lot of flexibility on square footage and the use of the house.”

From the front raised stoop, stairs lead up to the parlor level, Donegan said. “Having the main living spaces on the second floor means you have a little more privacy. There is a lot of foot traffic in the Historic District.”
The central staircase is on the left, with the kitchen in the back and double front parlors for separate living and dining spaces, she said. This floor also holds a powder room, a wet bar and a separate catering kitchen in the back.

“Everything has been impeccably restored, with new systems and a new roof,” she said.

Neighborhood Notes
The home has a prime location on Monterey Square, which is close to the Design District and Bull Street, a main thoroughfare in the Historic District, Donegan said.
“Monterey is the most prestigious square to live on and the closest one to Forsyth Park, which is our Central Park,” she said. Forsyth Park is the “primary meeting hub in Savannah,” with a restaurant, a playground, sports courts and a year-round farmers market.
