COMING SOON: A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully created half-acre compound in Avondale, one of Savannah’s quietest neighborhoods near Thunderbolt, Bonaventure Cemetery and the marsh.
The property features an original 2-bedroom, 1-bath home with a light-filled studio and bathroom addition surrounded by 14 windows. Rich with character, the studio offers wood-clad walls and ceilings, heart-pine floors, a new kitchen and a private entrance opening into the courtyard garden.
Major improvements include a new roof, spray-foam insulation, HVAC and appliances, providing immediate comfort and income potential with room for additional cosmetic improvements.
Beneath an ancient live oak sits a newly constructed, approximately 700-square-foot raised cottage built with a high-performance Eco-Panels system. Reclaimed wood walls and ceilings from RePurpose Savannah, abundant natural light and carefully selected finishes create exceptional warmth and architectural character.
An established L-shaped courtyard garden anchors the property with mature trees, lush landscaping, seating areas, firepit, hammock, patio and outdoor shower. A separate workshop and laundry area add utility.
Ideal for the “Live Near Friends” movement, multigenerational living, a creative live/work retreat or an income-producing property with independent spaces.
Architectural studies illustrate two additional proposed building sites and multiple configurations. A minor subdivision application has received City approval with conditions. Survey and conceptual plans are available. Future construction remains subject to permitting and governmental approvals.
Offered in its entirety for $875,000, this is an existing compound, intimate garden retreat and thoughtfully studied development opportunity in one of Savannah’s most peaceful hidden neighborhoods.
