500 Woodland Street, Brunswick GA: A 1960s Corner-Lot Home Near Restaurants, Parks & Downtown

by Carli Aycock

If you want a house in Brunswick, Georgia with room to add value, and you'd rather not spend half your life in the car, 500 Woodland Street deserves a look. This 1960s brick ranch sits on a corner lot under big live oaks draped in Spanish moss. It's listed at $240,000, and dinner, groceries, parks and downtown Brunswick are all a short drive away.

The Home at 500 Woodland Street

A covered front porch, a two-car garage and a wide front lawn set the tone. Out back, an above-ground pool and a screened-in porch handle the long coastal Georgia warm season. Inside, the living spaces are flexible, and the oversized laundry room can double as a home office, workout area, hobby room or extra storage.

The seller has already updated the windows, which takes one of the bigger-ticket items off the list. The home does need repairs and updates. For a buyer who wants to personalize a home and build equity, or an investor looking in Glynn County, that's where the opportunity is.
