207 Barley Road
Oatland Island
Savannah, Georgia

This distinctive address on Savannah’s Oakland Island employs a hip modern twist to seamlessly combine elements of time-honored coastal style with soothing touches from the Orient.

The home’s design is at one with the waterfront environment. The hardi-plank exterior is topped with a gleaming metal roof. The sleek linear balustrades are constructed of marine quality aluminum rails with stainless steel infill and stainless screws. Decking is ipe’. This chemical free Brazilian walnut boasts a natural resistance to insects, mold and decay.

The private grounds are beautifully landscaped. On the way to the front steps, brick walkways wind past Zen garden vignettes. Gas fed lanterns illuminate the hand carvings on a pair of centuries old elephant doors.

Inside, the foyer is lit by a Jonathan Alder chandelier. An expansive of glass doors across the waterside makes the home room appear to float on the liquid surface. Panels of solid rosewood form the living room’s accent wall. The flooring is ipe’ with a rich finish applied.

The kitchen is the perfect blend of function and design. Custom cabinetry by Bentwood pairs with quartz countertops. Wolf appliances were chosen for cooking and Sub-Zero for refrigeration and freezer systems. The French cooktop is complimented by in-the-wall convection microwave, convection oven, warming drawer and refrigerator. The island houses the dishwasher and freezer drawers.

The home office is just behind the kitchen.

A main level bedroom offers privacy to overnight guests. The window seat overlooks the Zen gardens.

The full bath on this floor is wrapped in tile from floor to ceiling. A square glass vessel rests upon an antique cabinet. Doors connect the European shower to the waterside deck. All fixtures are by Kohler or Grohe.

Atop the upper floor is a fabulous owner’s retreat. A double vaulted ceiling rises over the large bedroom. A private covered balcony projects over the water. The bath is luxuriously appointed with two suspended vanities. The soaking tub is fitted with a optional quick fill ceiling spout. The walk-in closet is room sized.

The third bedroom boasts a balcony and en-suite bath.

The laundry is smartly and conveniently positioned on this top level.

The dock is equipped with a 15,000 pound boat hoist and a floating dock. The waters are navigable at all tides. World famous Richardson Creek spills into Bull River, Turner’s Creek and the Wilmington River. It’s only 5 minutes to the Intracoastal Waterway and 15 to the Atlantic Ocean.

This waterfront residence is centrally located between the sandy beaches of Tybee Island and Historic Downtown Savannah.
