About This Home
Steeped in Savannah’s architectural legacy, this distinguished Victorian residence exemplifies 19th-century craftsmanship and timeless design. Built for Virginia Lloyd Drane and Captain Henry Marty Drane, the home showcases graceful proportions, intricate detailing, and beautifully preserved fireplaces balanced by modern updates throughout. The main house offers four ensuite bedrooms—including one on the main level—each a refined retreat blending historic charm with contemporary comfort. A separate carriage house adds versatility with two additional units, ideal for guests, a studio, or private office, and may also serve as short-term vacation rentals or long-term income opportunities. A serene side porch opens to a walled garden perfect for entertaining, while rare off-street parking enhances convenience. Located in Savannah’s Landmark Historic District, this residence offers walkable access to Forsyth Park, fine dining, and cultural landmarks.
