Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This restored southern half of the Frederick Ball double house dates to the early 1800s and was academically and meticulously restored during the 1990s by Mills Lane IV of The Beehive Foundation in partnership with historic preservation architect Harvie Jones. The home retains substantial original features, including rare 12 over 12 window sashes, two mantels, the staircase, an archway with a lantern hook in the front hall, and much of the original woodwork, with wainscoting and pine flooring throughout. The original floorplan has been restored except for changes in the southern back quadrants, which were configured to incorporate modern conveniences including a kitchen and half-bath on the first floor. On the second floor, the updated area includes a full-bath, washer and dryer, and a large walk-in closet. A modern Federal-style double-porch was also added off the back during the restoration to create additional living space. The property includes a courtyard and off-street parking.

The Frederick Ball Houses are located on Columbia Square and are centrally situated within Savannah’s Historic Landmark District, with the documentation noting the home is within walking distance of most anywhere in the area.

For buyers seeking a historic residence that has been restored with both preservation detail and practical modern updates, this property offers a carefully documented renovation history on file with The Beehive Foundation, along with protective covenants tied to the Beehive Foundation.
