11 East Jones Street
John Scudder, a prominent Savannah builder, constructed this handsome freestanding Savannah gray brick house in 1850 on prestigious Jones Street in the heart of Savannah's historic Landmark District.
Enter into the wide foyer, which leads into the gracious parlor. The parlor is filled with light from the large front windowpanes, some of which are original glass. Separated from the parlor by pocket doors, the dining room and parlor both have sterling silver chandeliers to add to the elegance. All the moldings and medallions are original as are the fireplaces with marble surrounds. The floors are the original heart pine. The ceiling height throughout the parlor level is +11 feet. The library, with its bookcases and built-in desk, provides a quiet retreat. The French doors of the library open onto a wrought iron deck with a retractable awning – the perfect location to overlook the intimate and very private garden. The library has a fireplace flanked by two shell-shaped niches.
An 1896 addition now houses the gourmet kitchen with heart pine floors, black granite countertops, white porcelain farm sink, and a brick fireplace. The appliances are a dream: Thermadore range with 4 gas burners, a griddle and commercial oven hood; Fisher Paykel dishwasher drawers; Viking refrigerator; and custom-made cabinets. Additional space was reconfigured to enlarge a glamorous powder room and create a larger laundry room.
The guest quarters are located in the carriage house, which is attached to the house. The quarters are complete with its own bath, breakfast bar, two spacious closets and a redwood sauna. Below the guest quarters is the garage with automatic garage doors, ample storage and a half bath.
The sumptuous master suite contains a lovely dressing room, master bath, tremendous closet, and an original fireplace. The master bath is done in white marble, seamless glass shower and a luxurious white soaking tub, as well as double closets. In the closet room is a built-in dresser and ample hanging and shelf space. Adjacent to the master suite is a lovely second bedroom and bath. A large third bedroom and bath are located on the top floor. This bedroom has a cedar closet.
Take the interior heart pine staircase down to the garden level. Brick walls, enormous heart pine beams, two of the eight original fireplaces in the house and a slate floor create a relaxing and intimate ambiance. The antique English bar with its exquisite marquetry is the crowning feature of this level. A built-in banquette with storage underneath, a wine rack and a full bath complete the front portion of this floor. Through a pair of brick arches is an intimate dining are with a kitchenette featuring a new dishwasher, Kitchen Aid icemaker and deep bar sink. The French doors lead out to the garden. The entire courtyard is bricked with old Savannah gray bricks and edged with antique ballast.
The current owners have meticulously restored and maintained this house while being true to the original floor plan and style. Just a few of the renovations/improvements are: all five bathrooms and two half baths have been completely redone, the kitchen was completely redone, new light fixtures throughout the house (no original existed), new draperies and blinds in every room, laundry room, under house storage with new brick floors and lights, all new (4) heat/air units – Trane, new ductwork throughout the house, repointed exterior brick sides.
This elegant jewel is perfect for entertaining or just a quiet evening at home. This property is for the most discerning and astute homeowner. Please visit www.11EJones.com and www.historicproperties.com
