    Room details

    This charming historic brick townhouse features a classic red brick exterior with a mansard roof, dormer windows, and a welcoming front entrance surrounded by lush greenery and mature trees, offering excellent curb appeal in a picturesque, walkable neighborhood. Inside, the apartment boasts beautiful original hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings, and abundant natural light from large windows with plantation-style blinds. The updated kitchen is bright and functional, equipped with white cabinetry, granite countertops, a full suite of appliances including a stove, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher, plus convenient in-unit laundry with a stacked washer and dryer. Desirable features for renters include two full bathrooms with one with a vintage clawfoot tub and the other with a modern tub/shower combo with decorative fireplaces adding character to the bedrooms, and a spacious layout that blends historic charm with practical amenities like ample storage and central location perks. Prospective subtenants should know that this is a sublease takeover opportunity starting in June 2026, allowing you to assume the remaining term of the existing lease (typically through the end of the original 12-month agreement, with potential for renewal directly with the landlord afterward). This provides a seamless transition into this charming historic townhouse without needing a full new lease application, while enjoying the stability of an established rental. Rent is due on the 25th of each month, paid directly to the current tenant (sublessor), with the same reasonable grace period and late fees as outlined in the master lease. No additional security deposit is required beyond what's already held by the landlord, but we'll conduct a move-in inspection together to document the condition and ensure a smooth handover the existing deposit will protect against any issues during your occupancy. You'll be responsible for electricity and gas utilities (average electricity bills in Savannah apartments run around $150-250/month depending on usage and season, especially with summer AC needs), while water, sewer, and trash are typically covered by the landlord in historic district properties like this one keeping your added costs predictable. In-unit laundry and modern appliances mean no extra fees for shared facilities. Pets may be considered on a case-by-case basis (with landlord approval required for the sublease), potentially involving a non-refundable pet fee and/or monthly pet rent, subject to breed and size restrictions let's discuss your situation! Smoking is strictly prohibited indoors to maintain the historic features and air quality. The sublease will mirror the original lease terms, including requirements for renter's insurance (strongly recommended for your personal belongings and liability), reasonable occupancy limits, and quiet enjoyment policies. The original tenant remains responsible to the landlord, but you'll follow the same guidelines with 24-48 hour notice for any non-emergency maintenance or inspections. This sublease takeover is approved by the landlord and offers a fantastic way to secure this beautifully maintained historic apartment with its character, convenience, and modern updates perfect for those wanting a hassle-free move into a prime location.
