About 1400 - 1410 Prince Street
A rare opportunity for investors and historic-home enthusiasts to acquire a truly special portfolio in the Brunswick Historic District. This offering includes six individually deeded historic cottages, beautifully aligned and collectively known as the Lover’s Oak Cottages.
Two of the six homes have been fully restored with exceptional care, thoughtfully blending historic character with modern performance. These renovated units are currently leased at $2,200 per month, with documented peak rental performance of up to $2,500 per unit, offering both immediate income and upside potential as the project is completed.
Originally constructed between 1908 and 1926 by the Birmingham Atlanta Railroad, these two-bedroom, one-bath homes served as section houses for railroad workers maintaining miles of track. Today, their history is honored through intentional design and preservation-minded renovation. The two completed homes were rebuilt from the ground up with architectural design by local legend Charles W. Day, featuring dramatic 17-foot ceilings in the living and kitchen areas, 10-foot bedroom ceilings, generous closets, and fully decked attic storage.
Historic details are woven throughout—“Haint Blue” porch ceilings, period-appropriate tilework (including subtle railroad-track motifs), and carefully restored exteriors that respect the original architecture. Behind the charm lies modern peace of mind: all-new interiors, appliances, mechanical systems, metal roofs, and hurricane strapping tied from the rafters into rebar-reinforced concrete pilings.
The remaining four cottages are fully prepped and ready for completion. Architectural plans are in place, approvals have been secured with both the Historic Preservation Board and the City of Brunswick, and contractors are ready to proceed. Each structure is roofed, gutted, framed, and prepared for electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, drywall, and finish work. For reference, renovation timelines for the completed homes averaged approximately 12–14 weeks.
A meaningful historical footnote: Lang Building Supply, which originally provided materials for these homes over a century ago, still operates directly across the street and has supplied much of the material used in the current restorations—continuing a full-circle story of downtown Brunswick revitalization.
This offering represents more than an investment—it is an opportunity to participate in the thoughtful restoration and long-term revitalization of downtown Brunswick’s historic core.
