Custom Brick Home on 0.74-Acre Lot in Northwoods Hills
This distinctive custom-built home in Northwoods Hills delivers rare scale, storage, and mature landscaping on a nearly three-quarter acre lot. Designed with the attention to proportion and connection to the outdoors, the house offers 3,266 square feet of livable space, including generous formal rooms, built-in bookshelves, hardwood floors, and a Pella-windowed dining/Florida room perched amid the treetops.
The main level provides an owner-friendly primary suite with dual walk-in closets, an open formal dining room and living room that flow into the sunroom, and a kitchen equipped with gas range and pantry storage. The lower level expands your possibilities: ample center space that functions as a media or play room, room for additional bedrooms or an auxiliary kitchen, a custom cedar walk-in closet for seasonal storage, and a very clean mechanical area with pegboard-organized storage — perfect for hobbies or gear.
Outside, the yard reads like a private botanical garden with rock features, flowering trees, succulents and year-round plantings that create a peaceful, ever-changing landscape. The original pool house is still plumbed and powered and can serve as a gardener’s workshop, potting shed, or storage annex. Car- and tool-lovers will appreciate the oversized garage (reported at 600+ SF) complete with two separate storage rooms and built-in workbenches — a true tinkerer’s paradise.
Systems have been thoughtfully maintained and updated: new downstairs AC (2025), upstairs HVAC serviced/replaced (2022/2023), new gas water heater (2026), and new luxury vinyl plank flooring downstairs (2026). With a list price of $549,617, this home is a compelling opportunity for buyers who prioritize craftsmanship, outdoor space, and long-term livability. First open house scheduled; interior and lot rewards a careful, in-person inspection.

A factual market snapshot around 223 Covington Rd.
Northwoods Hills is an established, tree-lined enclave in northern Greenville with a mix of custom homes and well-maintained subdivisions. Through 2025–2026 the Greenville market has been stable with moderate price appreciation; well-located homes on larger lots have outperformed more generic new construction in resale velocity and pricing. For buyers seeking character and outside space close to city amenities, this property represents durable value: acreage and original craftsmanship are increasingly scarce, and recent system updates further reduce immediate capital needs. Inventory in comparable price bands tends to be limited in this neighborhood, creating the potential for multiple-offer scenarios when a standout property hits the market.
