The east façade of the house, now mostly hidden, originally had windows, but due to the proximity of 200 Walton Street, these have been bricked up, suggesting a later construction date on its easterly neighbour. Due to topography, this house boasts a walk-out basement. The basement is constructed of limestone, above which is a wide east-facing porch. As with many of these houses, they were originally heated by stoves from a central chimney, and in this case, the chimney still exists. The house overlooks a pond system which runs behind the houses on Bedford Street. There is a walkout from the stone basement foundation wall.
I've always wanted to visit Savannah so I thank you for sharing the photographs of your trip with us. Thanks so much for sharing your trip to Savannah. You did a great job of photographing all these beautiful homes. I am a regular reader of your blog-although I don't usually leave comments. With the opening of the railways, the coaching inn was no longer needed. It was torn down and the Albion Inn built in its place.

Currently set up as a duplex, could be a single family home; or live in one side and rent the other side. UNIT A is UNDER CONSTRUCTION; Seller is in the process of working on some wonderful renovations. UNIT B is ready for a tenant or new owner.
Some artists find inspiration in a muse, while others find it in a perfect canvas. For garden designer Holley Jaakkola, the switch immediately flipped when she first laid eyes on a verdant waterfront property in Georgia's quaint Isle of Hope community. "There were hundreds of antique camellias, native azaleas, and lots of old boxwoods that I was really excited about," she recalls of the large yard enveloping her family's now-forever home outside Savannah. "We're just surrounded by nature. It couldn't be more serene."
Wormsloe Plantation & Isle of Hope Guided Tour from Savannah
Notable is a large brick vaulted room thought to have been an ice house. Running through the basement is the owner’s model railway layout. The newer but still historic west addition also has a bay with 6 over 6 windows similar to the original house. This area has now been renovated into a modern open kitchen.
This lot is perfect for a home site and has a supporting geotechnical report for construction purposes. Within Isle of Hope’s Historic District , many of the houses date from its resort period, with larger historic properties on the riverfront Bluff Drive and smaller cottages on inland lots. Two historic frame churches date from the 1870s, and a few houses are older still, believed to have been constructed in the early 19th century. What an amazing location with the view of the river and marina. We visited Tybee and I kept thinking about the wonderful cottages that you had designed so beautifully.

This deck is covered with an awning in the summer, forming a wonderful summer room. Inside Jaakkola's studio, natural light was enhanced by the barn's original sky-high ceilings. Taking it up a notch, she splashed all surfaces, high and low, in white. "I always say you can make anything look 10 times better with a can of white paint," says Jaakkola. A mix of antiques sourced from near and far furnishes the former barn, including iron garden chairs and a vintage wooden desk from France as well as a trio of vintage woven cloches from Vietnam.
It's only a short walk to Isle of Hope Marina, the Community Pool, the playground and Isle of Hope Elementary (K-8). Don't miss your chance to build your dream home on one the few remaining vacant lots on Isle of Hope. It grew from a struggling colonial outpost to a sleepy seaside village, to a summer retreat for the city’s elite, to a nationally known resort destination, to Savannah’s choice saltwater suburb. This unhurried growth over so many years created a unique community with a rare sense of history. An original brick staircase, double-decker front porches, and a columned exterior strike a commanding presence at the Jaakkolas' home.

The new St. John’s Church is a large red brick building built in the Gothic Revival style, typified by a long nave, anchored by a high brick steeple. Large brick buttresses help support large spans of the nave, and divide it into a series of bays, each containing a magnificent stained glass window.
You did pick out the best one for sure. I love how the trees had pushed the ground up at the fence line. Have you ever seen window boxes overflowing like these? This house appears to have a screened-in porch below and another open porch above. The oaks dripping in Spanish moss really make these homes feel enchanting.
The picturesque setting of Isle of Hope has been well preserved by film’s time capsule for over 60 years. From Bluff Drive’s sun-dappled view of the Skidaway river, to the historic homes that charm the riverside community, it’s impossible to deny Isle of Hope’s cinematic appeal. This two-storey frame vernacular cottage was built with its gable facing the street. This, like the cottage at 25 Brown Street , exhibits the character of cottages of this period in history, which aspired to a classical style temple. This is further developed with a wrap-around porch with classical details in the columns with capitals. A metal roof adds much to the charm of this ground level porch.
The house contains a large music studio in the south portion with high ceilings and generous windows overlooking the ravine to the west. The house has a symmetrical layout with a central door flanked by two windows on either side, known as 5-bay Georgian. The brick is laid in Flemish bond on the front and common bond on the sides, and brick pilasters frame either side with a corbelled brick frieze and brick parapets supporting large chimneys. The sunlight streaming in the large 6-over-6 windows , the wide-plank pine floors on the 3rd floor, and the large back yard extending into the ravine. The house has recently been renovated by its current owners, exposing a wonderful basement.
