On the Market:Four-bedroom Hawthorn Woods home
Retreat to upscale Hawthorn Woods in Lake County each evening to enjoy this brick, cedar and stucco home with a cedar-shake roof and all the bells and whistles.
The chef-sized kitchen will appeal to the cooks in the family with its ceramic tile floor, granite island and stainless steel appliances. And for those who love fireplaces, there are three in this home: in the living room, family room and finished basement.
The two-story family room also wows visitors with its wall of windows and even some skylights which, together, fill the room with light. Entertainment space abounds between the deck, huge bonus room, family room and generous finished basement. This is truly a home you will not outgrow.
