Hickory Woods housing: 62 acres of custom brick, and two kinds of house under one name

The plat was recorded in July 2002 and houses went up from 2003 to 2017, individually custom built rather than in production runs, which is why the architectural description reads as custom traditional in brick and stone instead of naming a plan catalog. Two story homes predominate, with one story and 1.5-level plans also represented. Main level square footage on its own runs 2,051 to 5,916 and averages 3,441, and where a basement is permitted the finished total roughly doubles. Seventy nine percent of closed sales carry a three car garage or larger. Those sales, from January 2021 through June 2026, ranged $390,000 to $752,000 with a median of $565,518.

The split that matters most to us is the basement prohibition on lots 58 through 77. In a subdivision where other lots carry finished lower levels that nearly double the square footage, that one covenant creates two genuinely different houses under a single subdivision name. A lot with a finished lower level brings a second tier of daylight openings, usually shorter and wider than anything upstairs and framed shallower. A lot numbered between 58 and 77 has none of them. So the scope of a whole house quote in Hickory Woods can differ by six or eight openings on lot number alone. About 62 acres is the sourced figure for the whole plat, and no count of finished houses is published.

Hickory Woods window profile: 26 to 45 openings, masonry reveals and an open north edge

Mounting depth is mostly friendly here, and that's a covenant effect rather than a builder preference. With the first story required to be at least 85 percent brick or stone, ground floor openings sit in masonry with a real reveal, so an inside mount clears comfortably for a cassette roller, a cellular headrail or a Z-frame shutter. The other 15 percent is where it gets interesting, because permitted materials also include drivet and wood, and those don't return to the frame at the same depth on the same elevation. We take mounting depth at each opening rather than once per house. Settlement is mild here, nine to twenty three years on masonry ground floors, but a three point measure still applies to the tall openings.

Upstairs the problem changes from depth to height. Two story great room walls are likely on the larger plans given the era and that main level footprint, and stack height is what eats glass on a wall like that. A roller parked at the top of a seventeen foot wall leaves a fascia band across the head, and a cellular shade leaves a compressed stack that grows with the drop. Then exposure. North edge lots facing the working farm take broad sky glare off open ground through the day, plus raking sun early and late in June when the sun rises and sets well north of due east and west. Interior lots under mature canopy have almost none of that.

What we specify in Hickory Woods, and why lot number matters

A Hickory Woods package has to answer three things at once: a high opening count on custom sizes, a masonry reveal that mostly cooperates, and an edge of the plat that faces open farm ground. It also has to survive the Property Owners Association, whose covenants state that all exterior improvements require Committee approval. That reaches an exterior awning or an exterior solar shade even though no window covering rule was located in any public summary of the recorded documents. Interior work isn't affected by anything we could find. National ranges apply: $250 to $2,600 per window for custom treatments, $300 to $1,500 per window installed for motorized, $175 to $800 per window for shutters. Fabrication runs 2 to 5 weeks.

Bitternut Lane, Mockernut Court and Guilford Elementary

Hickory Woods streets carry hickory species names, which is exactly how residents search for the place: Bitternut Lane and Mockernut Court are the two that surface in a retrievable source. The subdivision sits in Guilford Township with Guilford Elementary School roughly a mile away, and residents describe themselves as backing onto farmland rather than onto another subdivision, which the recorded CC&Rs confirm with a livestock disclosure along the north boundary. Mature trees and wide spacing between houses give it a settled feel the newer Plainfield developments won't have for another twenty years. Middle and high school are Plainfield Community Middle School and Plainfield High School under Plainfield Community School Corporation.

Hickory Woods Property Owners Association: what actually needs approval

The Hickory Woods Property Owners Association runs an architectural committee and the covenant language is broad: all exterior improvements require Committee approval. No window covering rule was located in any public summary of the recorded documents, so nothing we can find governs what you hang inside the glass. Exterior work is different. A retractable awning or an exterior solar shade is an exterior improvement, and it goes to the Committee before you order rather than after. The same covenants require the first story to be at least 85 percent brick or stone, prohibit above ground pools, prohibit basements on lots 58 to 77, limit fencing to brick or wrought iron, and keep RVs and boats in closed garages. Annual fees run $150 to $165 against an original assessment of $125.
