RARE FIND – In a district where street parking is a challenge and vertical living is the norm, this 1850s masterpiece defies every historic limitation with its sprawling double-lot acreage, a glass-walled elevator that feels like a private gallery, and a massive, climate-controlled two-car garage that is virtually unheard of in the heart of downtown.
108 West Gordon Street is the ultimate Savannah “unicorn,” reimagined by visionary Juan Carlos Bertotto to blend 19th-century soul with avant-garde luxury. The residence is anchored by a breathtaking two-story glass atrium that brings the outdoors in, featuring a magnificent Yew tree that climbs from the garden level through the parlor floor. Whether you are ascending via the windowed elevator or walking the original heart pine floors, the home offers a seamless dialogue between historic brick and modern transparency.
The gourmet kitchen and formal parlors are bathed in natural light, while six original fireplaces provide a warm, tactile connection to the home’s storied past. True to its masterful redesign, the residence features bespoke, integrated closet systems in every bedroom, providing a sophisticated blend of custom millwork and high-capacity organization that ensures the home’s historic aesthetic remains uncluttered and effortless.
Outside, the walled courtyard serves as a private sanctuary for alfresco entertaining, leading to the detached, oversized garage—a rare luxury that accommodates large SUVs and a home gym with ease. Situated just steps from the moss-draped canopy of Chatham Square, this estate offers the space of a suburban manor with the prestige of a Landmark Historic District address. Experience a lifestyle defined by rare amenities and architectural genius in one of Savannah’s most celebrated homes.
