Old-School Elegance in the Modern Day
In the heyday of old Savannah, aristocrats spent their time
in decadently appointed estates. Their process in building
and outfitting these veritable manses focused on many of the
considerations we obsess over today: location, architecture,
finishes, furnishings … but they certainly didn’t have our
spalike bathrooms and smartphone-controlled everything at
their beck and call. You can.
Inspired by these residences of downtown’s past, yet de-
signed to leave its inhabitants in want of nothing, River
Homes at Upper East River was fashioned to do just what
the modern-day city of Savannah does: bring the old and
new together for a matchless mingling of the authentic with
the posh.
It’s a unique prospect—and not only for its design. River
Homes rests on the final stretch of Savannah riverfront to be
developed. Each residence overlooks its own parcel of green
space that reaches its way toward the riverwalk and gently stir-
ring waters beyond.

You pull into the drive and park. From there, you might walk
indoors at street level, or you’ll take the elevator to the second
floor, where an open-air courtyard invites you to take in a
restorative breath before entering the residence.

From the moment of arrival, River Homes emanates historical
richness and speaks to the lifestyle of the 21st century in turn.
Every home features a detached carriage house that hearkens back
to the days of horse and buggy. Since you likely won’t be using it
that way, architect Jeff Hamilton designed a functional and versa-
tile, yet refined addition to your home. Below, it is an impressive
four-car garage; above, it might be guest quarters with a kitchen
or a fitness room, a studio or a playroom. The choice is yours.

A river-view terrace on every level, grand foyers and halls, and an entire floor dedicated to the owner’s suite … all of it comes together in a layout that strikes the ideal balance between open and intimate. The common areas are massive and made for gathering, but the private spaces call you to indulge in contemplation or connection, all to oneself or with a beloved. 15 Old-School Elegance in the Modern Day
Begin your day in a decadent master bedroom, where soft light invites you to wake and rise. Delight in the feel of warm
hardwoods underfoot, before entering into a bathroom of exquisite marbles and lavish features.

With ample space for a large family and an ar- chitectural plan that encourages guests and renters, River Homes offers the freedom of flexibility. On the uppermost floor, a loft space and sky deck could be an extension of the owner’s suite, a secret hideaway, an entertaining space ... the possibilities abound. 17 Old-School Elegance in the Modern Day

21 Old-School Elegance in the Modern Day“We believe that what separates
great home design from the rest
of the pack is similar to what
distinguishes classic literature: it
is relevant in its time, but will also
endure the test of ages to come.”
