See inside this stunning historic Savannah home on sale for $6.75M
Another historic Southern home is on the market this week. This one is a gorgeous Georgian Revival in Savannah overflowing with street appeal and charm. It might be even more impressive than the rare Charleston mansion for sale on East Battery.
Known as the Mills B. Lane house, the estate was built in 1907. It is located in the historic Landmark District of downtown Savannah and offers views of the beautiful Forsyth Park.
Southern Style
The exterior’s iconic Corinthian columns, “Swan’s neck” pediment and shutters accenting the windows offer a taste of the grandeur that awaits inside.
The front doors open to reveal parquet floors and period moldings throughout the grand entrance hall. In addition, there are 29 handpainted murals decorating the foyer.
The massive 14,500-square-foot mansion is full of original details and eccentric personality. The many rooms — including six bedrooms, eight full baths and three half-baths — are colorfully decorated with punchy patterns and one-of-a-kind details.
Hospitality At Home
On the first floor, there are two formal parlors and a ballroom-size dining room made for entertaining, as well as a gourmet chef’s kitchen. This updated space features luxury appliances, including a double oven, an indoor grill, a warmer oven and a wine chiller, plus a large island and ample counter space for easy food prep. There’s a butler’s pantry for storage and a breakfast area for starting every day off on the right foot.
Upstairs, the third floor has four bedrooms, including an impressive master suite. To reach the higher floors, there’s no need to take the stairs. In fact, the home features a modern elevator for the ultimate in convenience.
The mansion holds a few surprising rooms, too. It has an intimate library with built-in bookshelves, a wine and billiards space and a spa.
Out back, the yard is a landscaped mini oasis containing an in-ground pool, a pool house, a terrace and a garden veranda.
This historic Southern mansion could be all yours for a cool $6.75 million.
