Historic Parkside Cottage in Savannah

Having grown up in the deep South, I moved to the Midwest as a teen and then to the West as an adult. I have finally made it back to the place I belong. I love hosting my little cottage in Parkside. I have met so many wonderful people during my adventures hosting through the years. It's great to meet other people who love old, historic homes and appreciate staying a piece of history; not to mention a place like Savannah.

Parkside is a special neighborhood within a special city. It is eclectic, safe, friendly, and deeply rich with history, stories, and plenty of activities right outside your door. Daffin Park is one block away and boasts of walking and jogging paths, athletic fields, a dog park, etc. It is the largest park in Savannah. Grayson Stadium is located at Daffin Park and is home to the famous Savannah Banana Baseball Team.

Parkside Cottage was built in 1925 and the previous owner lived there for over forty years. The hardwood floors, plaster walls, and trim are all original to the home. The floors have been screened so that their character can shine through. Several special elements about this house make it so very Southern. It has an enclosed side porch which is now a bedroom (bedroom 3) for extra sleeping space. This is common among small Southern homes built around this period. It has an attic, or whole house fan. There is nothing like an attic fan in the Spring, Summer, and Fall in the South to cool down your house and let in the fresh air! It also boasts a Screened House in the back of the property, which is wonderful to entertain on warm Summer days or cool Summer nights.
