Recently featured in The Wall Street Journal, the iconic childhood home of U.S. Poet Laureate and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Conrad Aiken offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for discerning buyers to own a newly renovated home that is rich in history. Nestled in a prime location on Oglethorpe Avenue in the heart of Savannah's National Historic Landmark District, this exceptional 5 BR brick rowhouse was recently renovated by the seller and includes an elevator spanning all three floors, off-street parking and elegant period details.

Originally built in 1855, this impressive historic home is ideal for relaxing or entertaining and features a solid brick exterior with wrought iron accents plus stunning interiors with high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows providing an abundance of natural light and stunning hardwood floors. Until the age of 11, Aiken lived at this stately residence with his parents, Dr. and Mrs. William Ford Aiken.

This gorgeous home has all-new appliances, electrical, plumbing, HVAC systems as well as a complete renovation of the home's interiors, a new roof and much more. Original period details -- including heart pine floors, ceiling medallions, crown moldings and marble fireplaces -- have been thoughtfully restored throughout. A garden-level living area could serve as additional living space for the main house, a garden apartment/in-law suite or commercial space.

The current owners also added a three-level addition to the rear of the home (totaling 2,000 square feet), which includes a large chef's kitchen with commercial-grade appliances and spacious open living room, stunning primary suite with laundry area, two guest bedrooms, a full bath and laundry room. A deck was built off the chef's kitchen, which leads down to the courtyard. The home also features an electric gate for off-street parking as well as new pavers and hardscaping.

Conveniently located within walking distance of Forsyth Park, Broughton Street, Bull Street, SCAD and Savannah's best restaurants, cafes and shops, this historic home stands apart as one of the city's finest residences and is filled with Southern charm. Don't miss the opportunity to own one of Savannah's most exclusive private homes.
