Half-Acre Brick Home — 5BR/3BA, 3,500 SF in Blythewood
What first strikes you at 604 Winding Hickory Ct is the lot — a true half-acre, level yard set back from the cul-de-sac curve and finished in classic brick that reads as durable and low-maintenance. This two-story, 2013-built home stretches roughly 3,500 square feet and delivers five bedrooms and three full baths, a generous scale for families who need space without sacrificing a manageable floor plan.
Inside, the home’s bones are straightforward and well-cared-for: hardwood and tile floors anchor the main living areas, and a central fireplace creates a natural gathering point for the living room. Mechanical systems include central air and forced-air heating, and a composition roof caps the home (roof age to be verified). The attached two-car garage and standard driveway provide everyday convenience, while municipal utilities (water and sewer) simplify maintenance.
Upstairs and down, rooms are sized for practical living: multiple bedrooms for a growing family or home office conversions, and main-level access that eases daily routines. Most buyers will appreciate the unfinished basement — a substantial blank slate that can become a media room, extra bedrooms, or a fitness suite. With an unfinished basement on a half-acre site, there’s clear potential to expand finished living space affordably and increase long-term value.
Location is quietly compelling. The Winding Hickory neighborhood sits inside the Columbia MSA and benefits from Blythewood’s steady growth. Nearby amenities include Doko Meadows Park (about 1.5 miles) and Cobblestone Park Golf Club (about 2 miles), while Richland School District Two serves the area. Annual property taxes were modest in 2023 ($2,634), and comparable sales within the neighborhood support an estimated market value in the $471K–$531K band. Whether you’re a move-in buyer seeking generous rooms and a large yard, or an investor/developer eyeing basement finishing as upside, this property balances immediate livability with clear opportunity.

604 Winding Hickory Ct, Blythewood, SC 29016

A factual market snapshot around 604 Winding Hickory Ct.
Blythewood’s market currently favors sellers: inventory sits around 2.5 months and average days on market are roughly 30 days. Median sale price for the area is about $500,000, with one-year appreciation near +5% and five-year gains around +25%. Single-family homes — particularly newer, well-kept brick houses on larger lots — move quickly; comps in the immediate Winding Hickory area show recent sales from the low $400Ks up to the $600K range depending on lot and finished square footage. For buyers, limited inventory means decisive offers are advantageous; for sellers, properly staged homes and light improvements (finishing a basement, landscaping) typically yield strong ROI. Rental demand is healthy as well: market rents for comparable 4–5 bedroom homes suggest gross yields around 6–8%, making this an attractive option for investors who want near-term cash flow with long-term appreciation. Key due diligence items here include verifying roof age, confirming lot boundaries, and checking school-zone implications for family buyers.
