One of Savannah's finest homes is now being offered for sale. Completed in 1821 by merchant John Hunter, this Federal-style residence features Philadelphia hard-pressed red brick and a stunning Ionic limestone portico with a balustrade balcony. The home boasts a rare front hall with an over-door niche and monumental front doors, original gray Ionic marble mantels, triple sash windows, and six-panel doors. The 1821 mahogany rail, plaster, and woodwork are original. The current owner did a full restoration adding a chef's kitchen, spa baths, and restoring the light-filled rooms while keeping the historic layout. The 2nd floor now includes a private primary suite, and the garden level has been transformed into a cozy living area with a separate kitchen and Belgium blue stone floors. Outdoor features include a covered sitting area, a courtyard, and a charming carriage house with 2 parking spaces. The main house offers 5 beds/4 baths, and the carriage house has 1 bed/1 bath.
