The Essex is a new floorplan debuting in the Chicagoland market! This home, located on home site 229, has it all: an open-concept kitchen, breakfast nook, and family room; 1st floor guest suite, four upstairs bedrooms and a loft; three bathrooms; upper-floor laundry; and a standard three-car garage. This beautiful Essex home backs up to the 6th hole of the Hawthorn Woods Country Club. Come explore! As you enter the front door, a study room sits to the side of the home, closed off to create privacy for working at 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. Tucked into the corner of the kitchen is the entry to the private mud room entrance, which provides lots of space for taking off boots and coats during the cold Chicago winters. Back out through the kitchen, another entryway can be found near the rear of the home in the breakfast area, this time leading to a full bathroom and 1st floor guest suite. 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 owner's bathroom has a dual sink vanity and large walk-in shower. 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 full basement with a rough-in for a future bathroom.
