Interesting - Rover's version would not sound natural to me, but it must to both of you.
I would say:
I have a brick house.
or
My house is made of brick.I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
