See Inside: A Restored Isle of Hope Estate

Once a humble house used as a respite from sweltering Savannah summers, this Isle of Hope estate was recently transformed into a full-time family home.

restored two-story traditional home in isle of hope savannah georgia

Once a humble house used as a respite from sweltering Savannah summers, this Isle of Hope estate was recently transformed into a full-time family home. With so much to share, we dedicated an entire blog post to soaking in the curb appeal. Today we're finally taking you inside! We think you'll find it was worth the wait.

This home originally appeared in Veranda, and additional photos (all taken by Emily Followill Photography) have been shared with Garden & Grace by interior design firm Webb Marsteller. 

The design team paid homage to the home's original old-world architecture, but nearly every room was repurposed—and totally reimagined. In this corner alone you can see the stately columns with ornate capitals, made much more whimsical with Chinoiserie wallpaper and a bullion fringe corner seat.

We love the strong finishes and bold design choices throughout, especially in the kitchen where the kitchen  slab is brought all the way up to the ceiling. The green lower cabinets and wood-toned island make the space feel equally grounded and elegant.

The spiral staircase is one of the home's hero features. The steps are covered in a neutral rug that graciously lets the architecture shine.

It should be no surprise we love the calming, classic blue and white color scheme used throughout the primary suite. A seating area and private balcony make it even more special.

Tour The Grounds of This Idyllic Isle of Hope Estate

Once a humble house used as a respite from sweltering Savannah summers, this Isle of Hope estate was recently transformed into a full-time family home.

Once a humble house used as a respite from sweltering Savannah summers, this Isle of Hope estate was recently transformed into a full-time family home.  The restoration was a labor of love spanning four years, with the exceptional expertise of a trusted design team.

This home originally appeared in Veranda, and additional photos (all taken by Emily Followill Photography) have been shared with Garden & Grace by interior design firm Webb Marsteller. With so much to share, we're spending today admiring the curb appeal and views before taking you inside later this week. Don't miss out! Sign up for our weekly emails to be the first to see inside.

A gracious covered front porch—that was once falling apart, if you can believe it–waves you up and greets you with the prettiest blue front door. It's aptly accessorized with Greek key details and bespoke brass knobs by Wilmette Hardware. The front door color is Benjamin Moore Gentleman's Grey and the exterior color is Glacier White.

The design team wanted to honor the home's historic roots, while evolving it to meet its new family's needs. You'll find nods to Greek and 19th century architecture throughout blended with modern comforts to create a classic yet comfortable home.

The years-long renovation involved restoring the original main house, and a significant expansion—including the addition of outdoor living areas, a pool and pool house.

The pool house is bright and clean with playful pops of color and pattern, from blue kitchen cabinets to a skirted bathroom sink paired with a sweet scalloped mirror.

With low country views like this, it's no wonder this Isle of Hope home has welcoming outdoor spaces that invite you to stay a while.
