A post mortem examination revealed he had been beaten about the head with a blunt object and stabbed.
He was last seen alive by his older sister in the evening on Christmas Eve.
Mr Greenwell, who was single and had lived in the bungalow for 35 years, took early retirement at 60 from his job as a pharmacist for Boots the Chemist.
The man who has been charged is described by police as being local.
He will appear before Houghton-le-Spring magistrates on Monday.
