It’s hard to find a river walk more beguiling than Savannah’s. The restored 1859 cotton warehouses along the river have been turned into quaint shops and more than twenty restaurants nestled inside the exposed brick walls of history. Shops include everything from boutiques, candy and gift shops, to Harley Davidson apparel and art galleries Along the paved walkway along the river’s edge, one can sit on a bench under the shade of a tree and watch as ferries, freighters, water taxis and private yachts always offer an interesting, movable view. Behind the waterfront are the grand mansions of historic Savannah with parks and wonderful streets to explore.

This river home with its spectacular views of the river, shipping and Hutchinson Island, was formerly the home of the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum. When the Museum moved to its current location, Scarbrough House on Broad Street, the 19th century building was repurposed into one of Savannah’s most elegant mansions.

Built in 1892, the 4,500-square-foot, three-story townhome consists of three bedrooms, three baths, huge formal rooms with tall, historic arched windows affording river and shipping views. A stunning feature is the glass enclosed spiraling stairwell winding its way from the first floor all the way up to its domed glass top that opens to a huge rooftop terrace with two levels of decking, a gas grill and a potting shed, not to mention river and city views. For those of us who aren’t fans of walking up three floors of stairs, there is also an elevator connecting the three levels. For more information.

Former museum converted to elegant Savannah townhome, now priced at $3.35 million.
