Hawthorn Woods home

Retreat to the woods and live among the flora and fauna in this lovely cedar home on more than an acre in Hawthorn Woods. Privacy abounds here with both neighbors and traffic seemingly far away.

The home’s open floor plan features cathedral ceilings, skylights, a two-story foyer, an island kitchen with eating area, breakfast bar, three-season room, family room, living room, dining room, study and laundry room on the first floor. The second story features four bedrooms with abundant closet space, including a newly finished master suite. The basement is finished and perfect for watching sports or playing billiards.

This home is ideal for a large family or for someone who likes to entertain out-of-town guests. The kitchen opens up to the family room with a double-sided fireplace and adjoining sitting room. Most of the year, you can also comfortably relax in the three-season room, surrounded by a new deck.
