Imagine for a moment, it’s evening time and there’s a bright moon overhead. You can just see it peeking through the branches. You’re standing out on the lawn in a beautiful sun dress and the breezes feel like heaven. There’s a long table here on the lawn. It’s covered with a crisp, white tablecloth and two large, blazing candelabras, one at each end.
This cottage is typical of that model. This house is brick construction laid out in a 3-bay arrangement with a side door with transom light, flanked by large elegant 6 over 6 windows with wood lug sills and brick voisseurs. The brick façade is interrupted by prominent pilasters extending to the roof with decoration capitals.

This deck is covered with an awning in the summer, forming a wonderful summer room. Inside Jaakkola's studio, natural light was enhanced by the barn's original sky-high ceilings. Taking it up a notch, she splashed all surfaces, high and low, in white. "I always say you can make anything look 10 times better with a can of white paint," says Jaakkola. A mix of antiques sourced from near and far furnishes the former barn, including iron garden chairs and a vintage wooden desk from France as well as a trio of vintage woven cloches from Vietnam.
To me that is the most beautiful place ever. Off the kitchen is a keeping room that serves as the default cocktail lounge when guests come over and is an example of Jaakkola's knack for combining styles, textures, and materials effortlessly. "I love really modern elements and very old things with patina, and I think when you put them together in a room, they capture your interest even more," she says. Here, industrial metal end tables are juxtaposed with delicate glass lamps and a casual slipcovered settee. The rugged wood-topped cocktail table and botanical artwork (both scored at Atlanta's South of Market) connect the whole setup to the outdoors.
How To Decorate Your Porch Year-Round
This beautiful lot is situated next to Dutch Island in Savannah, Georgia. Lot includes shared access to approved dock that will span 930' over marsh giving deep water access to both lots. Dock will split at the end giving private docks to both lots that have shared walkway.
Some artists find inspiration in a muse, while others find it in a perfect canvas. For garden designer Holley Jaakkola, the switch immediately flipped when she first laid eyes on a verdant waterfront property in Georgia's quaint Isle of Hope community. "There were hundreds of antique camellias, native azaleas, and lots of old boxwoods that I was really excited about," she recalls of the large yard enveloping her family's now-forever home outside Savannah. "We're just surrounded by nature. It couldn't be more serene."
English Town was an almost separate community at the top of the hill.
Home being sold “AS IS”, sellers willing to pay up to $1500 towards FHA & VA required repairs. Later, the advent of the personal vehicle lessened the need for such resorts so close to home, and the town transitioned into an ordinary residential community. Until the Civil War, a single dirt road through the forests south of Savannah provided the only access to Isle of Hope.
Due to height restrictions in Port Hope, the reassembled house was reduced in height by one log, making it a single storey house with loft. Behind a delightful, classically-inspired frame Ontario Cottage is a log cabin. The log cabin is a 2-storey vernacular cabin moved from Dunvegan, Ontario, north of Kingston. It was disassembled, numbered and reassembled twice to ensure how it would be put together.
The predominant housing types in Isle of Hope are single detached homes and townhouses. The buildings in this municipality are quite old, because around 40% of its dwellings were built in the 1960s and 1970s, while most of the remaining buildings were built pre-1960 and in the 1990s. This part of the Savannah metropolitan area is particularly good for those looking for three bedroom homes.
The car is usually the preferred way to navigate this municipality. It is especially convenient to access a parking spot. This part of the Savannah metropolitan area is not very well-suited for walking as many daily needs are inconvenient to meet without the use of a car. Information deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

In 1871, the Savannah, Skidaway and Seaboard Railroad connected Isle of Hope to the city, and the settlement began to grow more quickly. Its layout, in contrast to the grid usually employed in Savannah, was designed to take advantage of the bend in the river and its cooling breezes. I didn’t realize it was still for sale. It’s been on the market for a while now. It really goes far back…a lot bigger. I kind of like the green paint in some of the rooms…such a pretty color.
This lot is perfect for a home site and has a supporting geotechnical report for construction purposes. Within Isle of Hope’s Historic District , many of the houses date from its resort period, with larger historic properties on the riverfront Bluff Drive and smaller cottages on inland lots. Two historic frame churches date from the 1870s, and a few houses are older still, believed to have been constructed in the early 19th century. What an amazing location with the view of the river and marina. We visited Tybee and I kept thinking about the wonderful cottages that you had designed so beautifully.
