About This Home

As of July 2025

Nestled in a beautiful cul-de-sac, this stunning 4-bedroom, 3.5 bathroom Hawthorne model home in the sought-after Liberty Grove subdivision is truly a gem. This two-story beauty features a welcoming two-story foyer and an office off the entryway, which leads to a cozy family room with a fireplace-perfect for gatherings or simply unwinding by the fire. The open floor plan seamlessly flows from the family room into the formal dining room, and adjacent to it is a spacious, modern kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a kitchen island, and ample pantry space. You can enjoy casual meals in the breakfast area or entertain guests in the formal dining room. From the kitchen, step out onto a large, expanded deck where you can enjoy the outdoors on pleasant days. One of the standout features of this home is the first-floor primary bedroom, which offers two large walk-in closets and an ensuite bathroom with both a Jacuzzi tub and a stand-up shower. The first floor also features a half bath and a laundry room/mudroom conveniently located near the garage entrance." Upstairs, you'll find a spacious loft that can be used as an additional office, playroom, or even an extra bedroom-the possibilities are endless. Two generously sized bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with dual Corian vanity countertops. Both bedrooms offer large closets for plenty of storage. The walk-out basement is a true highlight, offering a large bedroom, a full bath, and a vast entertainment space, making it ideal for hosting guests or enjoying family time. The expansive backyard is one of the largest in the area and is particularly beautiful in the spring and summer, surrounded by lush trees and vibrant foliage. With the HOA taking care of landscaping, snow removal, and sprinkler maintenance, these services add to the convenience of owning this home.
