Stunning Downtown c.1890 Estate w/ Wraparound Porch by Lucky Savannah

This spacious 5BR estate was designed in 1890 by Hyman Witcover (architect of Savannah’s beautiful gold-domed City Hall) for prominent Savannah native, Simon P. Kehoe. Simon was the son of William Kehoe, beloved citizen and founder of The Kehoe Iron Works. After undergoing an expansive restoration, ‘The Simon’ offers a one-of-a-kind Savannah experience. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is one of the city’s most well-preserved examples of the Queen Anne Revival architectural style.

THE LOCATION

Located just off of Lafayette Square, The Simon is in the heart of Savannah’s historic district. You’ll find the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, the Hamilton-Turner House and the Andrew Low House mere steps from the front porch. Situated right around the corner is Pinkie Masters, McDonough’s, and Hitch. Walk a few squares to the south and find Forsyth Park with nearby coffee shops and a weekly farmer’s market. Less than a half-mile away, explore the SCAD campus or enjoy a show at the Savannah Theater. Architecture buffs can stop by the Davenport House Museum or Owens-Thomas House, then visit Leopold’s Ice Cream for a sweet treat.

KITCHEN & DINING

You’ll find everything you need to prepare delicious meals in the well-appointed kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances and high-end cookware. A convenient cocktail and coffee bar includes all the right tools for morning and evening beverages.

Gather for meals at the in-kitchen dining table, the intimate breakfast nook, at the formal dining room with seating for 10, or outside on the porch.

LIVING ROOM

Lounge in the main living area that accommodates your entire group, while unwinding listening to some tunes on the Sonos speaker. The vivid sun-filled parlor overlooks the sprawling front porch and quiet Harris Street. The architectural focal point from the interior is the original tiger oak mantle with ornate columns and intricately carved faces. Dramatic leaded windows in the entry hall cast waves of rainbow prisms into the living area on sunny afternoons.

BED & BATH

Bedrooms are open and airy with high ceilings and tall windows. There are two full baths on the first floor, and two full baths upstairs.

The first-floor primary bedroom is fitted with a plush king bed, en-suite bath with walk-in shower, and access to the very-private side porch.

A lovely staircase leads to the second floor with four guest bedrooms. The second bedroom has the king bed nestled into the beautiful bay window, which is a prime feature of the Queen Anne Revival style. The large bedroom is fitted with the original fireplace and a private dressing nook with full length mirror.

The third bedroom has a king bed, original fireplace, and a beautiful leaded glass window. The cozy fourth bedroom boasts a colorful fireplace and a queen bed.

The roomy second-floor primary has a king bed, en-suite bath, and a view of the Cathedral spire. An adjacent bonus den has a queen sleeper sofa and desk.

OUTDOOR AREA & AMENITIES

Stroll the sidewalks under the Spanish moss-draped Live Oaks until you find the right spot to linger. Many guests declare their favorite spot in Savannah is The Simon’s wraparound porch.

Reserved parking is available for three vehicles at the back of the house.

Complimentary Wi-Fi, YouTube TV, Smart flat-screen TVs in each bedroom, and a washer/dryer are provided.

Nu-Calgon iWave air purifiers have been installed – this helps to destroy indoor pollutants including allergens, viruses, bacteria, mold, etc.

College Friend Get Together
The accommodations were perfect for our group. There were five women and we each had a bedroom and enough bathrooms. We loved gathering on the porch as the weather was perfect. We could walk to any of our destinations. Three of us had vehicles and there was enough parking behind the house. Our only problem was with the front door. Although the code unlocked the bottom lock, the top lock did not release enough to allow entry. We always had to use the back door. It would have been handy to know, when we received the access codes, that parking could be accessed via the alley behind the house.

Wonderful!
Beautiful historic home for a family of 8 to comfortably stay. House had everything we needed for the week. 2 bedrooms have en suites and 2 other bathrooms for the other 3 bedrooms to share. Washer/dryer was so handy. Beds were comfortable. Parking for 3 cars behind the home. Nice porch to have your morning coffee, the front door lock can be a bit tricky but that’s an old home for you. The house was nicely situated in the city to walk wherever you need. Only used the car once to go to Tybee Island. Overall wonderful experience and would recommend.

Really a special place
The Simon is a really special stay. We had our family there for a week and couldn't have had a nicer time. The house is beautiful, very well appointed, very comfortable, with charm galore. Beds were comfy, towels fresh and new, plenty of toiletries and other stuff to start your stay. We spent every morning and evening on the porch. Dedicated 2+ parking in the back of the house is a very welcome addition to a city that is a nightmare to park in. Pinkie Masters next door has cheap PBR's. Overall, A++ stay.

Beautiful home
We had six people staying at the Simon, which had more than enough room for all of us. The beds were comfortable, The porch in the front was gorgeous and very welcoming. The kitchen had all the appliances and cookware needed for making breakfast and so much barware and dinnerware! You could host a party there! Located in historical district very close to the Basilica and gorgeous park. We could walk to our venue location easily since we were there for a concert. We had an issue getting into the house with our code, but I could immediately get in touch with the rental office and received a new code. Otherwise, no other problems during our stay.

Family wedding
Negatives: Rental company gave us the wrong code at check-in but this was quickly resolved. Trash bin and recycle bin were full, we called 3 times to have it emptied but to no avail. Not enough trash bags in house, not enough paper towels. Back of house backs up to an ally with a bar on corner. Sketchy people hanging out in ally, smoking pot, etc. Positives: Beautiful period home from 1890 with modern amenities like tankless hot water heater, good internet and good streaming tv options. House is well appointed, very comfortable, lots of space for our family of 10 with three young children. Walk-able to River Street and Forsyth Park. Would rent again.

Wonderful property!
Our family loves staying at the Simon during our recent visit to Savannah. The location is a beautiful area of the city and so convenient to many historic sites, restaurants, and activities. The house had a wonderful layout for our group of 6 adults and 3 children. Everyone had their own space and bathroom. The 2 dedicated parking spots were also super helpful!

Quick visit to Savannah
This is a lovely old house smack in the middle of the Historic District. 5 minute walk to the waterfront and surrounded by lovely city park blocks. House was in good condition and all bedrooms were pleasant. My only 'beef' is the cleaning fee was very high (and non-negotiable) for a quick stay.

Fun place to stay!
We enjoyed this property! It was in a good location downtown, very well equipped, and exactly like it was described. The parking in back was really nice, having stayed downtown before without dedicated free parking in the past. The wrap around porch is just the quintessential Savannah vibe, and we loved it! Check in and communication was smooth, we overall were impressed with this property and would stay here again.
