Soaring great room a high note for the Hawthorne
In the Hawthorne by Homes by Avi, the great room seems to extend well beyond the floor plan.
This comes from its soaring 20foot ceiling and the large windows that cover its rear-facing wall.
These windows reel in views of the backyard and the scenery past it. An elegant full-height fireplace adds to the great room’s upscale feeling, as well.
Overlooking this entire space is an open-to-below feature from the second floor hallway next to the master bedroom.
The Hawthorne is a 2,229-square-foot single-family home with a two-car front-at- tached garage, and displayed as a show home in Cochrane’s Sunset Ridge.
Master-planned by Melcor Developments, the community features a 2.4-hectare freshwater pond, 5.5 kilometres in pathways and six park areas linked by linear parks.
Facing the great room is an Lshaped kitchen and adjacent dining area, where sliding glass doors step out to a spacious rear deck.
The kitchen is headlined by an expansive island with a sink and extended eating bar that comfortably seats three people. It’s available in granite or quartz. A row of stylish pendant lighting hangs above it.
An abundance of space around the island makes it an attractive place for people to gather and socialize. This also helps it function as a cooking space, allowing multiple people to help chop, dice and season without getting in each other’s way.
The kitchen has stainless-steel appliances, including a fridge with French doors, and chic chimneystyle hood fan.
A corner pantry connects to a mud room that meets up with the attached garage. This helps with hauling in bags of groceries, creating a direct path from the trunk of the car to the kitchen.
The floor plan has a work space, too. Just off the front foyer, two doors open to a flex room that makes sense as a home office. Due to its handy location, when clients come over, there’s no reason to take them through the more private parts of the home. A large window in the foyer gives the space a welcome dose of natural light.
One the second level, a master bedroom and its accessory spaces are on one end and a bonus room is on the other.
The master bedroom is 12 feet four inches by 14 feet and has a sizable window. Its ensuite is a luxurious package, with dual vanities under a full-length mirror, shower encased in glass, and deep soaker tub.
It connects to a spacious walk-in closet that then accesses a laundry room with a front-load washer and dryer.
Secondary bedrooms are on facing sides of the hallway and a few steps from a full bathroom.
The bonus room is a bright space with several windows, including a skylight in its vaulted ceiling.
