Built in 1884 for Joseph J. Dale-the former Chairman of the Chatham County Commission-this grand four-story Italianate stands as a landmark of the Savannah Historic District. Overlooking the northeastern corner of Forsyth Park, the residence is situated on a block of Gaston Street renowned for its lush, photographed landscape and meticulously preserved homes. The interior spans approximately 4,200 square feet, retaining masterful 19th-century details such as soaring 12-foot ceilings, original heart pine flooring, and ornate plaster crown moldings. The parlor level is meticulously designed for effortless hosting, featuring working pocket doors that seamlessly connect the grand public areas and a formal dining room illuminated by a crystal chandelier. A modern, spacious eat-in kitchen adjoins the dining area, opening onto a private porch that provides a charming setting for casual dining. The upper levels serve as a private sanctuary, led by a full floor master suite that includes "his and hers" full bathrooms and dedicated closets, alongside a cozy central sitting or media room and laundry fa--cilities. On the fourth floor, two generous guest bedrooms are joined by a full bathroom and a historic trunk room which allows for versatile uses. The property offers exceptional versatility; the garden level currently functions as a leased commercial space with a reliable tenant, yet it retains a bedroom, full bathroom, and kitchen, allowing for easy reintegration into the main residence. Outside, a large private courtyard creates a secluded garden oasis, leading to a detached garage and workshop. This structure is crowned by a separate studio apartment, offering a self-contained space ideal for rental income, guest overflow, or a private home office. This J.J. Dale Row house remains one of Savannah's most distinguished residential offerings for 2026.
