Primary-suite options on both the first and second floors, together with laundry facilities on both levels, provide exceptional flexibility. A separate one-bedroom, one-bath private carriage residence with its own gated entrance is ideal for guests, extended family, a private office, or as a separate income-producing residence. Quintessential Savannah Beyond the interiors, a secluded brick courtyard beneath a magnificent mature live oak creates an enchanting private retreat for outdoor dining, entertaining or quiet evenings beneath Savannah's celebrated tree canopy.

Tree-canopied streets and some of the city's most recognizable architecture surround the property, creating the rare opportunity to live in the heart of historic Savannah while still enjoying the privacy of a substantial freestanding residence. Yet the property retains an exceptional sense of retreat. A private courtyard, separate carriage residence and gated parking make this an unusually complete offering in one of Savannah's most desirable historic settings. The House of Mary Jaudon is more than a beautifully restored historic residence. It represents an opportunity to become the next steward of a remarkable piece of Savannah's architectural heritage, while enjoying the elegance, versatility and extraordinary setting of this distinguished home.
