Historic Brick Mansion and Front Door
Spanish moss dripping from the trees creates the perfect out-of-time look for this wonderful historic Southern residence. The Mills B. Lane house was built in the early 1900s and, through meticulous restoration, has maintained so much of its original charm.
Brick Mansion Exterior With Black Shutters
This historic Southern residence is the belle of the ball with over 14,000 square feet of living space, a guest cottage, home theater, game room and enclosed garden with a pool.
Historic Mansion Front Exterior With Pediment
Around the front door are more of the home's spectacular architectural details, this time in the form of a Swan's Neck pediment, stately columns and shuttered windows with splayed lintels.
Front Exterior and Fence
A porch extends the length of the front of the home, just right for mint juleps and rocking chairs.
Front Yard With Fountain
The grounds' immaculate landscaping includes fountains, secluded benches and beautiful garden beds.
Historic Brick House Exterior With Columns
This beautiful brick Georgian Revival home has history! Called the Mills B. Lane house, it was built in 1908 and is a treasured part of Savannah, Georgia's Historic Landmark District. Its 14,500 square feet of living space include 6 bedrooms, 8 full bathrooms and 3 half bathrooms.
Traditional Foyer With Plant Murals
At first glance, one might think that wallpaper covers the walls of the home's foyer. But no, the intricate flowers and vines are hand-painted.
Foyer With Moldings
The moldings alone, in this circa 1908 home, make the residence a star, so detailed and elaborate are they. This gorgeous display is part of the foyer.
Traditional Foyer With Vine Mural
The magnificent entrance hall displays 29 hand-painted murals. The millwork and moldings are original.
Yellow Victorian Salon With Red Rug
Gatherings in this salon, one of two, will probably discuss the incredible fireplace with its ornate carvings and dark marble surround. A crystal chandelier sparkles overhead, and underfoot is a parquet floor.
Red Traditional Dining Room With Crystal Chandelier
The formal dining room is as big as a ballroom and, with wide, open doorways, has an easy flow to the rest of the main floor. The dazzling chandelier is crystal.
French Country Sitting Room With Clock
The home has two formal parlors, both with stretched-out windows and gorgeous fireplaces. This room looks out onto Savannah's beautiful Forsyth Park.
French Country Kitchen With Loveseat
Charming details like a loveseat and a floral valance cozy up the gourmet kitchen. And how fun are the copper range hood and farmhouse sink!
French Country Kitchen With Green Cabinets
Southern hospitality is easy to pull off with a kitchen as well equipped as this one! The high-end appliances include a double oven, warmer oven and indoor grill. For easy storage and party prep, there are also a butler's pantry and wine refrigerator.
French Country Breakfast Nook With Oranges
A sweet breakfast nook is situated just off the kitchen, brightened by more of the home's tall, slender windows.
Wine Cellar
The temperature-controlled wine cellar has room for 500 bottles of your favorite reds, whites and bubblys. Stay here or head next door to the game room for a tasting.
Brick Patio and Pool
Out back of the home is a walled-in outdoor area, part garden, part patio, part pool, all beautiful. A wide back porch and balcony are shadier ways to take in the peaceful scene.
Front Porch With Park View
A gracious front porch looks out over Forsyth Park. Ionic columns, one of the historic home's signature details, frame the front door.
Courtyard and Brick Porch
Although the home is located right in the heart of Savannah's historic downtown, it has a wonderful, enclosed courtyard and gardens. The large outdoor area includes a brick terrace, an in-ground pool and a poolhouse!
