The February 17, 1870 edition of the Savannah Morning News called this stunning home "an ornament" to this portion of the city, and that description rings as true as ever. Dubbed the "House of Reflections" for its copious amounts of natural light, it was built by architect Henry Blum as one of only four homes on this historic block. The English-style townhouse sits on a double lot, just steps away from the serenity of Chatham Square.
Enter the ground level via the charming Gordon Street side or through the shady Wayne Street courtyard, a high-walled private oasis where hummingbirds visit regularly and a soothing fountain is home to a vibrant family of koi. The patio ensconced in ferns, camellia trees and the city's famous azaleas invites intimate conversation or simply quiet meditation. Inside, a spacious living area with built-in mahogany bookcases leads to a thoroughly renovated kitchen and breakfast space, showcasing this home's most breathtaking detail: A two-story, glassed-in atrium featuring a thriving Japanese yew tree growing out of the ceramic tile. A large bedroom that could serve well as an office and a luxurious full bath are also contained on the ground level.
Up one flight of stairs, a sense of warmth exudes from the original heart pine floors. A natural glow lingers all day from north-and-south-facing windows, continued in the evenings with the aid of the two fireplaces in the grand sitting room. The dining balcony affords a view of the magical indoor tree and the city beyond, and for ultimate convenience is attached to another "warming" kitchen. The elegant powder room makes this level a perfect place for entertaining.
One more flight up lies a sanctuary of light and tranquility. Each bedroom contains its own ultra-modern bathroom and truly stupendous amount of closer and storage space, while the master boasts a Jacuzzi tub and a fireplace. Also on the property is a two-car finished garage, already zoned for a second level carriage house with more square footage potential.
Located in the heart of Savannah's historic district and close to the Hostess City's parks, museums, historic sites and shopping, 108 West Gordon remains a jewel that has stood the test of time as it has been updated with every modern convenience, a testament to fine architecture and elegant design. Offered at $1,595,000.
