15 Dorchester Lane, Hawthorn Woods Welcome to one of Hawthorn Woods' most exceptional homes, where timeless elegance meets meticulous craftsmanship. Offering over 4,000 square feet of beautifully appointed living space plus a finished basement, this spectacular 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom residence showcases years of thoughtful improvements and uncompromising attention to detail. With the potential for a 6th bedroom in the finished lower level, this home provides incredible flexibility for today's lifestyle. The impressive curb appeal is matched by an equally stunning interior featuring soaring 9-foot ceilings, rich hardwood flooring, extensive custom millwork, and spacious, light-filled rooms throughout. At the heart of the home is the beautifully updated gourmet kitchen, complete with 42-inch cabinetry, an oversized island with cooktop, newer refrigerator and dishwasher (2023), and a charming bay window overlooking the private backyard. The family room is warm and inviting with a custom gas fireplace insert, blower, and enclosed surround, while the living room offers an additional gas fireplace with gas starter. A major second-floor addition, completed in 2006, added a spacious fifth bedroom and full bath, creating the perfect guest suite, multigenerational living space, or private home office. The luxurious primary suite features a beautifully remodeled spa-inspired bathroom (2024), completed with permits. A remodeled hall bath (2015, permitted), updated laundry room, and newer carpeting further reflect the exceptional care invested throughout the home. The finished lower level expands the living space with a large recreation room, full bathroom, and an ideal location for a potential sixth bedroom, making it perfect for extended family or overnight guests. Step outside to a peaceful backyard retreat featuring mature trees, professional landscaping, an irrigation system, and a paver patio designed for entertaining and relaxing in complete privacy.
