The "Airplane House" in Parkside Neighborhood - Listed at $179,900

The classic bungalow in Parkside is garnering lots of attention. Built in the 1930's, the home was named "the Airplane House" and its my hunch that it will literally "fly" off the market as it is a true one of a kind! The homes features amazing casement windows, french doors, hardwoods, exposed beams in the living room, and an oversized fireplace (with insanely gorgeous andirons!). The home is just off of Waters Ave.. in the craftsman neighborhood of Parkside.

The home has a large spacious layout downstairs. The living room is large enough for substantial furniture, a large dining room set, and is wide open to the kithchen. The kitchen will need to be updated but the home is totally livable as is. The two downstairs bedrooms are separated by a hall bathroom that will also need a bit of updating, but again, is totally livable as is. Upstairs is where the drama happens - three mini sun rooms plus a half bath could make for a delightful master suite escape or serve as a creative perch for a home office or guest room.

This is one of my favorite homes currently on the market and at $179,900, it will hopefully fall into the right hands! An owner with a preservation background could have a field day enhancing the charm and character that this home obviously possesses.

Mais Non! French Food in Savannah!

I knew I was in for a treat when my friend, Linda, told me about Papillote. Linda is my first foody friend from Atlanta, the one who took me to my first (and only) five star dining experience and makes me eat the smelliest cheeses you can imagine. Of course I love her for this and am always up for whatever she recommends.

She called me excitedly from her hotel on her Iphone. She squealed excitedly into the phone, "My Urban Spoon ap has told me that we MUST eat at Papillote in downtown. Have you heard of it?"

I had, in fact, heard of the joint through the Savannah Development and Renewal Authority, but had not yet taken the time to explore. But I'm SO glad that I did! The duck confit with caramelized onions, sauteed spinach, and raisins was superb and had the crumbliest crust I think I've ever had.

And I LOVE the way you order at the counter and get to mingle with other diners. I actually ran into a friend from yoga training there and we all got to chat it up and rave about the food. Q'uelle coincidence (I'm sure I butchered that).

So kudos to Papillote and to Linda's "Urban Spoon" for letting me know about it!
