Welcome to this adorable, fully furnished 2-bedroom, 1-bath circa 1907 railway cottage in the heart of the Historic District. Located on a quiet street just minutes from all that is Savannah, this ideal location makes it easy to enjoy downtown's shops, restaurants, squares, schools, entertainment and night life. It also provides easy access to roadways and Savannah's beaches.
Upon entering this colorful light filled house, you'll notice tons of original historic details including wood flooring, two (nonfunctional) fireplaces, 9' high ceilings, and tongue/groove wainscoting. These features are complemented by a thoughtful blend of new and period furniture and decor. Throughout the property, an eclectic mix of art, including original and antique paintings and art prints, as well as old photos, maps, and postcards that illustrate Savannah's rich history.
The living room has original heart pine floors and a fireplace with hand stripped pine mantle and surround. It is furnished with a new sleeper sofa and recliner, a vintage folding coffee table, and antique accent tables. Vintage lamps, a coat rack, and area rug round out this highly functional and comfortable space.
Both bedrooms are the same size and feature large closets and oak floors. Perfect for roommates, small families, or those who want to host guests from out of town. The front bedroom is set up with a four-post double bed, dresser, night stand, vintage student desk, an area rug, and a smart tv.... The rear bedroom has a queen bed, dresser, nightstand, folding shelves, an area rug, and private access to the shared bathroom.
The eat-in kitchen features tile floors, maple cabinetry, and a countertop made from a local live oak that fell during a hurricane. With all new appliances, it is fully stocked with essentials like a coffee maker, toaster, dishwasher, as well as dishes, utensils, and cookware that complement the home's decor. The table can be pulled out and unfolded to seat 4 people comfortably, but will fit 6 in a pinch.
These four rooms all have convenient ceiling fan lights for maximized comfort throughout the main living spaces.
At the back of the house there is a small bonus room with an additional dedicated workspace that can function as a home office. This room also features a washer and dryer, extra storage, the main access to the bathroom and access to the back porch and courtyard.
The bathroom has been recently updated and features a window lit tub/shower combo, classic mosaic tile floors, oak vanity with a granite countertop, and medicine cabinet.
One of the most unique features of this property is its screened in porch and private fully fenced courtyard space. (Note: the screened in porch effectively adds an additional 80sf of living space). The porch is furnished with a comfortable wicker sofa, coffee table, and hanging fan light, with vintage wrought iron spring chairs in the courtyard.
Additionally, there is an almost unheard of off-street parking space for TWO tandem-parked vehicles in a designated lot 150' from the front door. Leave your car and walk to everything. This is true Savannah living at its finest.
