Savannah House Summary

Stay at the only existing Plantation Mansion in Historic Savannah! Besides having fully equipped kitchens and an out door gas grill, a Continental breakfast of fresh muffins, bagels, Nature Valley Breakfast Bars, 100% Arabica whole bean coffee is also provided free! There is a (2) bedroom, (2) bath apartment on the 1st floor of the main house. In the late 1800's Richard M. Lester built this Classical Revival Plantation Mansion in the Thomas Sq. Historic District. The wealthy and socially prominent Lester family played an important role throughout Savannah's early history and is the subject of John Jake's recent novel, ''Savannah or A Gift for Mr. Lincoln'. Located on a quiet street, the house under went a complete restoration during 2005 and 2006. The owner lives on the 2nd floor of the main house with his (3) Great Danes, Charlie, Moose and Scooter.

Location of House 166640

Nearest airport:   Savannah Hilton Head Intl Airport at 14 Miles
Nearest motorway:   Route 16 at 2 Miles
Nearest beach:   beach at 15.3 Miles
Car: recommended

Unlike much of the south, the city of Savannah was not burned in the Civil War, so many old homes have survived to this day. John Jakes recent novel, ''Savannah or A Gift for Mr. Lincoln' paints a very clear picture of life in Savannah during the Civil War and the Lester family who built this house. Today Savannah has the largest Historic District by area in the USA and many grand old houses have been saved and restored. When I bought this house in 2005 it was in pretty sad shape, no heat, countless leaks and just plain ugly but now the old gal is fixed up and ready for the next century. The house is located on 35th St. between Abercorn & Drayton and it's a good walk to downtown but parking, tour buses and crowds are never a problem. It's great living in this big old house and being able to share it!

Savannah House Details

Owner Occupied!: I live on the 2nd floor of the house. That's good if you run out of ice at 9:30 at night and really shouldn't be driving. On the other hand, this is a quiet residential area and so it's not quite the right place for wild parties until dawn.

Big Dogs Welcome!: There is a dog park about a 10 minute walk from the house.

Hosting a Special Event?: If you want host something special, the living, dining, sun room and front porch can accommodate around 75 to 100 people for a cocktail party. There is a large yard next to the house so parking isn't a problem. I have a caterer that has help guests and knows the house. Please give me a call or email for more information.
