Nestled in Savannah's esteemed Landmark Historic District, 222 E Gwinnett Street-known as the Thomas Weihs Haus-epitomizes Victorian elegance fused with contemporary luxury. Constructed in 1884 for Virginia Lloyd Drane and Captain Henry Martyn Drane, this meticulously restored residence showcases the grandeur of 19th-century architecture while offering modern comforts. Spanning 4,558 total square feet, the main house features four spacious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bath, complemented by a separate two-unit carriage house, totaling six bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Original details abound, including ornate plaster crown moldings, medallions, soaring 12-foot ceilings, and rich heart pine flooring. Floor-to-ceiling bay windows flood the interiors with natural light, highlighting the home's intricate craftsmanship. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances, a breakfast area, and a walk-in pantry, catering to both everyday living and entertaining. Six decorative fireplaces add warmth and charm throughout the residence. The expansive side porch, adorned with intricate railings and decorative columns, offers serene views of the lush, landscaped garden-a perfect retreat in the heart of the city. Situated on a 0.18-acre lot, the property includes off-street parking and is zoned RIPA, allowing for versatile use. Its prime location ensures a highly walkable lifestyle, with Forsyth Park, local boutiques, fine dining, and cultural attractions just steps away. Whether envisioned as a luxurious private residence or a charming bed and breakfast, 222 E Gwinnett Street stands as a testament to Savannah's rich history and architectural splendor.
