About This Home

Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the prestigious Gates of Old Hawthorne, this custom 1.5-story retreat offers the kind of privacy and presence that rarely comes available. Set on a secluded 1-acre lot with a wooded backdrop, this home feels like your own private escape -- yet remains close to everything. From the moment you step inside, the dramatic two-story ceilings and walls of windows immediately draw your eye upward and outward, flooding the space with natural light and framing serene backyard views. Custom built-ins add warmth and character, while the open design creates effortless flow between the living room and kitchen. The kitchen was designed to gather around. An oversized granite island becomes the heart of the home, surrounded by custom cabinetry and sleek stainless appliances. Whether hosting holidays or casual evenings, the adjoining covered patio -- complete with a direct gas line for grilling -- extends your entertaining space outdoors with ease. The main level balances elegance and function with both formal and casual dining spaces, a private study, main floor laundry, and a luxurious primary suite designed for true relaxation. Quartz accents, a deep soaking tub, custom tile shower, and a spacious walk-in closet transform the en-suite into a spa-worthy retreat. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms, two full baths, and an additional living area provide space for everyone to unwind. A custom-railed balcony overlooks the great room below, capturing breathtaking two-story views and reinforcing the home's grand yet welcoming feel. With wooded privacy, expansive light-filled interiors, and thoughtful custom details throughout, this home isn't just impressive -- it's an experience.
