About this home

When Ardsley Park opened south of Victory Drive in 1910, it was Savannah’s first real automobile suburb. Within a decade the city kept growing south, and the next chapter was Ardmore. Through the 1920s, ’30s, and ’40s, it filled in with brick bungalows and Revival-style homes on wide, oak-lined blocks. In 1985 the whole area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and today it’s known for its tree canopy, its neighborhood parks, and some of the best-built homes in Midtown Savannah. 219 E 56th St is a brick two-family home in the heart of Ardmore, and it’s built for the way people are buying today. There 2 two separate units totaling 3,690 sq ft: a 2 bed / 1 bath leased for $1,900 and expiring in December 2026, and a 4 bed / 2 bath leased for $2,500 expiring in August 2027. It’s a textbook house hacking setup. Live in one unit and let the rental income from the other cover a share of your mortgage, or hold the whole thing as a multi-family investment property. Owner-occupant buyers may qualify for 2–4 unit financing, so check with your lender. HVAC and water heaters were recently replaced. Life here moves at an easy pace. The streets are shaded by live oaks, the parks are close enough to be part of your daily routine, and most of what you need is a short walk or bike ride away. Mornings can start with a run around Daffin Park or a stroll through Hull Park. The home is within walking distance to Savannah Arts Academy, Charles Ellis Montessori Academy, and Jacob G Smith Elementary. Habersham Village handles groceries, coffee, and dinner. In spring the azaleas come out across the neighborhood, and on summer evenings you can hear the ballgame at Grayson Stadium. Forsyth Park, downtown, and Starland are all a few minutes away, so you get a quiet residential street without giving up the city. The 0.16 acre lot is spacious and includes off-street parking. Similar properties nearby have added an ADU (accessory dwelling unit), so there may be room to grow. Buyer to verify with the MPC and complete their own due diligence. You’re a short walk from Hull Park, Daffin Park, the Savannah Arts Academy, and Habersham Village, and minutes from Forsyth Park, the downtown Historic District, the Starland District, and SCAD.
