Welcome to the Essex at Hawthorn Woods Country Club! This home has it all: an open-concept kitchen, breakfast area, morning room and family room; 5 bedrooms and a loft; 3 full bathrooms; including a first floor bedroom and full bathroom, upper-floor laundry; and a standard three-car garage. Come explore! As you enter the front door, a study sits to the side of the home. Continue forward and you'll find the nicely tucked away staircase and an adjacent coat closet for guests. From here, the home opens up beautifully to the open-concept main living spaces, which includes the kitchen, breakfast area, and family room. The kitchen is lined with lots of cabinetry and has a large center island. Off of the breakfast area is the beautiful morning room, the perfect place to sit and drink your morning coffee. Enjoy a spacious mud room off the garage entry. At the rear of the home, you'll find a first floor bedroom and full bathroom. Upstairs, the Essex holds four bedrooms and a loft. The owner's suite sits in the rear corner of the home and has a large walk-in closet and private en-suite bathroom attached. The three secondary bedrooms share no walls, creating lots of privacy within the home. Finishing off this floor is the hallway bathroom, the laundry room, and a hallway linen closet. Rounding out this home is a 9 ft walk-out basement with a rough-in for a future bathroom. The Essex is waiting for you to call it home; are you ready to call it home? Welcome to Better.
