Steps to Forsyth Park - Historic 1850s Townhouse looks over Chatham Square!

ASK ABOUT OUR WEEK-NIGHT DISCOUNT - Monday through Thursday nights! (excludes holidays)

Wake up to views of Chatham Square from the master bedroom. Enjoy the en-suite bathroom with double shower heads, twin vanities, and adjoining walk-in closet. The kitchen is outfitted for cooking meals at home or plating a nice take out meal.
The private, rear balcony looks over the walled courtyard and fountain.

This historic townhouse was painstakingly restored and decorated with comfort & charm in mind and the best part is the central location - walking distance to everything in the Historic District!

NOTE: This is is a 3-story suite with one flight of stairs going up to the entrance, then one flight up to the living room/kitchen floor, then one flight of stairs up to the bedrooms.

HISTORIC GORDON ROW: Gordon Row was built in two phases between 1852 and 1854. In the first phase, the 3 or 4 houses on each end of the block were built and in the second phase the middle portion was built. There are a total of 15 houses in the row.

The houses were built in the Federalist (US) or Regency Style (UK). Each house is four stories high and contains about 3,300 square feet. The Federalist Style emphasizes square, classical features, plain decorations and mirror image rooms.

The Row was speculatively built; meaning that the homes were built as a lot then sold rather than individually designed for the owners. As a result, each of the 15 houses was nearly identical.

When built originally, the cost per house was between $3,500 and $4,000. The market was country planters, or farmers, who wanted a house in town for their visits to Savannah.

When originally built, the kitchens were on the ground level. The house was only two rooms deep with matching, or mirroring, windows facing the front and the back porch.

What's nearby

  • Designed by John S. Norris for General Hugh Weedon Mercer, construction of the house began in 1860. Construction was interrupted by the American Civil War, and finally completed around 1868 by the new owner, John Wilder. 

Before Hansford's death, as retold in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, the house had already been the scene of two deaths. In 1913, a previous owner tripped over the second floor banister, fractured his hip, and suffered a concussion, dying three days later. In 1964, a boy chasing pigeons on the roof fell over the edge and impaled himself on the iron fence below.

Fantastic location!

This property and location was perfect for a girls trip to Savannah. There are several flights of stairs to get up to the main floors so mobility is key, but that was great for my friends and I! We loved all the options to relax and visit including the living room, dining room and kitchen. The location was fantastic and gave us the ability to see everything in Savannah we wanted to. Would highly recommend this location!

Quite, Central Townhome

My family rented this for my son's graduation from SCAD. The place served as a central gathering point for the other guests before we headed out to dinner. It has a large kitchen, dining and sitting areas. The place was clean, quite and within walking distance of the farmers market, restaurants and shopping. I highly recommend.
