“It’s impossible not to be awed by this historic mansion, the huge two-story columns and immaculate topiary... experience something very special!” — Condé Nast Traveler. Steeped in history and architectural grandeur, this c. 1895 Greek Revival estate stands as a beacon of the Thomas Square Streetcar Historic District, recently named the "Best Neighborhood in the South" by Southern Living Magazine. Originally built for the prominent Lester family and later immortalized in John Jakes' novel Savannah, this remarkable property offers a rare blend of historic significance, timeless elegance, and modern versatility. Currently operating as a successful inn, the estate is zoned TC-1 and benefits from a non-owner occupied STVR permit, offering exceptional flexibility as a luxury residence, income-producing property, or both. The property offers more than 5,000 square feet of living spaces with 7 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, 5 kitchens, and a dehumidified basement for storage and laundry. The owner's suite serves as a private second-floor retreat featuring an open-concept kitchen, office, dedicated laundry room, and a cozy fireplace. Designed for entertaining on a grand scale, this suite opens to an extraordinary 1,020-square-foot private porch and pergola—one of the property's most unforgettable features. Mature trees, winding brick pathways, and thoughtfully designed gardens create a private oasis that is both low-maintenance and drought tolerant. Rare offstreet parking for 4 vehicles, a convenience seldom found in Historic Savannah. Just moments from Forsyth Park, the Historic District, award winning locally owned restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and cultural attractions; the very best of Savannah is at your doorstep. Whether preserved as a thriving hospitality business or transformed into an extraordinary private residence, this exceptional estate
offers a rare opportunity to own one of Savannah's most distinctive and storied properties.
