Greenville’s Parkins Mill Village: Where Modern Style Meets Sustainability
Greetings, readers! Nestled in the heart of Greenville lies a treasure trove of new homes that beautifully balance contemporary design with eco-friendliness. One shining example is the striking property at 36 Village Crest Drive, currently listed for a cool $849,000. This home isn’t just another pretty face in the neighborhood; it brings a fresh and bold style that stands out among the traditional homes typically found in this area.
A Unique Vision Comes to Life
Developed by Matthew King, Parkins Mill Village is a delightful collection of just 21 homes. It’s a development that sought to break the mold with modern elements like slanting rooflines and exciting contrasting colors that pop against the well-established traditional homes in Parkins Mill. The goal? To offer something different in a neighborhood known for its classic look.
Kassab, who helms My Upstate Home, describes 36 Village Crest Drive as a real eye-catcher. This home features an innovative rectangular design that’s both stunning and sustainable, boasting a roof designed for hidden solar panels. Imagine that—clean energy without ruining the home’s chic look. It gets even better with lovely details like bathroom countertops made from the crushed glass of a now-closed restaurant in Charleston, truly a creative touch that tells a story!
Buzzing with Interest
The excitement around this unique home has caught the attention of many, including some prospective buyers from the West Coast, where modern and sustainable living is more the norm. “We’ve had multiple inquiries from California, Oregon, and Washington,” Kassab noted, pointing out that this style isn’t something typically seen in our region. And folks, it’s refreshing to see that Greenville’s market is embracing this modern twist!
The Challenges of Development
Of course, bringing this vision to life wasn’t without its bumps on the road. The Covid-19 pandemic brought construction to a standstill, leaving everything in a bit of limbo. “We literally had to wait a year for things to get back on track,” Kassab shared. And when construction finally resumed, soaring material prices didn’t make it easy. Yet, despite these hurdles, the reception from buyers has been nothing short of amazing.
Living in Style
For those wondering, only a few lots remain available in this trendy community. Kassab proudly mentioned that most homes are already sold or under contract. Talk about a hot market! Each home in Parkins Mill Village echoes that modern flair, all while allowing buyers the chance to put their personal fingerprints on their future abodes.
For those who purchase one of the three available spec homes, there’s room for customization—in fact, recent buyers have gotten creative, adding heated floors and even a built-in sauna! Imagine how nice it would be to relax in your own heated oasis on those chilly winter days!
Convenience Meets Comfort
Location is key, and Parkins Mill Village doesn’t disappoint. Just a stone’s throw from downtown Greenville and conveniently located near Interstate 85, residents enjoy quick access to all the local hotspots and even the GSP airport. Those first few buyers were particularly drawn to this ease of travel alongside their modern lifestyle, as Kassab noted.
As the project continues to grow and flourish, Parkins Mill Village stands as a testament to what’s possible when modern design meets sustainability. It’s an exciting time to be a part of this vibrant community and to see such a refreshing change in Greenville’s housing landscape. Keep your eyes peeled on this fantastic development—you won’t want to miss what comes next!
