Description

Professional photography is currently in the works! In the heart of Savannah’s vibrant Starland District, the “Rainbow House” stands as a local landmark of historic Victorian charm and bold artistic expression. Situated on a coveted corner lot, this property offers a rare fusion of creative energy and versatile functionality. Zoned TN-2, the home is perfectly positioned for a wide range of uses, from a one-of-a-kind residential sanctuary to a boutique gallery, studio, or commercial flagship. The celebrated exterior color palette is matched by an interior featuring custom-painted floors, spacious light-filled rooms, and a layout that effortlessly bridges the gap between classic architecture and modern whimsy.

The property is designed for the ultimate Savannah lifestyle, boasting four expansive balconies and an enchanting private courtyard complete with an above-ground mini pool. While the property is currently utilized as a vibrant studio space on the lower level with a private residence on the second floor, the generous proportions and dual-level access provide a seamless opportunity to convert the entire space into a high-end duplex. Whether you envision a lucrative multi-unit investment or a sophisticated live-work setup, this property invites you to bring your vision to a neighborhood defined by its culture and community. Own a piece of the Starland experience and let your dream endeavor take flight in this beloved neighborhood icon.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from March 24, 2026

    "I just moved a few blocks away from this area a month ago. So far everything has been stolen from my yard and porch. Three windows were smashed and the air conditioners were stolen. Not sure why so much crime when a new precinct just opened. Police have already been called to my house. They advised me to move."
