34 E 50th Street

Eternal in its discipline yet richly expressive in its detail, this 1933 John LeBey–designed Ardsley Park residence, inspired by the historic Hermitage Plantation, rests beneath a canopy of magnolias and reflects a rare synthesis of architectural pedigree. Constructed entirely of reclaimed Savannah Grey brick, the home has been stewarded by generations of notable Savannah families while preserving its sense of authenticity. The façade is defined by double curved staircases, while hand-forged iron gates, railings, and lanterns—crafted by LeBey’s uncle and inspired by Charleston’s ironwork traditions—lend the residence a distinctive sense of artistry. The interior is rich with storied materials, including heart pine floors, a beautiful staircase banister from Oglethorpe ave., hand-carved moldings, richly preserved millwork, and marble flooring salvaged from Savannah’s former downtown post office, lending the original baths a singular sense of provenance. Additionally, reclaimed beams and floor joists sourced from a historic Georgia hardware store reinforce the home’s rooted connection to the past. Beyond the residence itself, brick terraces, garden walls, landscaping, and a Carriage House, oversized for 2 SUVs, with space for a workshop, home office, and storage, create an exterior environment layered with authenticity and functionality. A highly coveted property within one of Savannah’s most beloved neighborhoods.
