- Property Description
- No. 347 Tattnall Street - Savannah, Georgia 1844 to 2009………… A History Past and Present Twenty years before General Sherman presented the City of Savannah to President Lincoln in 1864 and put his headquarters at the Green-Meldrim House on Madison Square….John Low built his family a house just off Pulaski Square at the corner of West Jones and Tattnall Streets in 1844. John Low was a successful merchant and built the house on the “outskirts” of the growing city long before the Civil War reached the history books of Savannah. Today, the John Low house still stands strong and vibrant for today’s living. No. 347 Tattnall exemplifies the best of Historic District renovation while incorporating the charm of original architecture with all the modern conveniences. The restoration and renovations were completed between 2006 and 2008 by the owner, a nationally published interior designer. Throughout, original old growth heart pine floors enhance the overall history of this residence. The surrounding neighborhood is now part of the National Historic District with gleaming, restored mansions and bold new condominiums to the west. As you enter this three story house you will find an open, welcoming foyer and hallway. Directly to the right is one of the “beauty spots” of the residence. The “parlor” has new faux finished crown molding and a black soap stone fireplace that is original to the house. The four windows, facing east and north, are enhanced with custom “burned bamboo” woven wood shades that will remain with the house. Down the hallway is a newly renovated powder room with custom vanity and lighting. Just beyond you will find the new and expanded custom kitchen boasting top of the line stainless steel appliances, honed black Absolute granite counter tops and full height custom cabinetry with European hardware. The kitchen creates an efficient cooking area that blends seamlessly into the open family/dining room with fireplace for cozy evenings and dining experiences. There is a French door that adjoins a newly re-built second story deck overlooking the private brick courtyard and garden. The deck and garden create the perfect atmosphere for gatherings with family and friends. On the third level there is a newly renovated and expanded Master Bath redone in Carrere Marble for the walk-in shower, floor and double vanity. Custom plumbing fixtures and lighting enhance the overall experience of this classic bath renovation. The Master bedroom with fireplace enjoys both eastern morning light and diffused northern light for a tree house effect that enhances the overall privacy of this room. All of the woven wood shades are custom fabrication and remain with the house. There is a large walk-in closet at the end of the hall. The Guest Room, with fireplace, enjoys windows facing north and west for afternoon light. The bonus in this historic residence is a ……….. one bedroom, one bath rental apartment at the garden level. This charming apartment with original slate floors, two fireplaces and chestnut beams could easily be transformed into an office or private guest apartment…Presently, the apartment rents for $880 per month.
