Listing of the Day
Location: Savannah, Georgia
Price: $1.495 million
Overlooking picturesque Victory Drive, this lime-washed brick home with a separate carriage house offers a historic feel with relatively new construction in a neighborhood of homes that mostly date to the turn of the last century.
The two-story home is in Savannah’s Baldwin Park neighborhood, right across from the historic Ardsley Park/Chatham Crescent neighborhood, on the north side of Victory Drive, said listing agent Staci Donegan, of Seabolt Real Estate, Christie’s International Real Estate.
“Unlike the original Ardsley Park houses that were built in the early 1900s, you have all of the modern conveniences that those houses lacked,” she said. Those homes are known for having “no closet space and the bedrooms are all upstairs.”
Here, the first-floor primary bedroom suite features dual closets, a gas fireplace, French doors leading to the brick patio and backyard, and an en-suite bathroom with a free-standing soaking tub, an oversized shower and double marble vanities, according to the listing.
Other architectural details include Brazilian wood floors, high ceilings, arched doorways, pocket doors, crown moldings, chair rails, extensive millwork, large windows, and front and back stairways.
“It’s a very light and airy house,” Donegan said. “It’s got lots of natural light—there are windows everywhere. The windows are double paned so you don’t hear street traffic.”
“It’s classic traditional brick construction so you have low maintenance,” she said.
The kitchen features custom cabinets, quartzite countertops, and high-end stainless-steel appliances by Wolf, Sub-Zero and Bosch, according to the listing. The adjacent open-concept family room offers a gas fireplace, a bar, a wine fridge and double French doors leading to the brick patio and backyard.
The main level also holds living and dining rooms and a separate laundry, “which you don’t get often in Baldwin Park and Ardsley Park houses,” Donegan said. The second floor holds three bedrooms and two full bathrooms.
The backyard has a storage shed and could easily accommodate a pool, she said.
The carriage house boasts an elevator and is configured as a “true in-law suite,” with one large bedroom and a full bath upstairs, and a first floor with an open-concept living room and kitchen and a powder room, she said. It could be converted to a garage downstairs with an apartment above it.

Including the carriage house, the 5,651-square-foot home has six bedrooms, four full bathrooms and two partial bathrooms. It sits on a 0.189-acre lot.

Neighborhood Notes
“It’s in a really great centrally located and historic neighborhood, but you’ve got the conveniences of new construction,” Donegan said.
