422 Hawthorne Ave, South Milwaukee, WI 53172 - Tranquility and privacy are part of the magic this lovingly cared for, cottage-like home invites you to discover. Enter the quiet summer porch where large windows bring the outdoors in, and imagine relaxing with a morning cup of coffee or a visit with friends. Open the home’s beveled glass oak door to explore the charming main level. The library with natural fireplace, and living and dining rooms will have you falling in love with its warmth before you even see the rest of the house. Tasteful décor, fresh paint throughout, hardwood floors, built-ins and a darling kitchen pantry draw you in. Two downstairs bedrooms, an updated full bath and efficient kitchen complete the cheerful first floor. Take the stairs to the fully carpeted upper level, and prepare for a surprise encounter with a spacious and versatile dormitory bedroom. A perfect place to work from home with a panoramic view of the backyard, this space is limited only by your imagination! A front master bedroom with a peaceful alcove and full, updated bath, round out this completely delightful upper level where closets and storage spaces abound. Make your way to the finished basement where three creative spaces await: a laundry room, a craft room or hang out, and a generous workroom with all the trimmings. Benches, peg boards, work table, storage and overhead work lights will get you eager for your next project. Its clean, dry environment with freshly painted flooring makes this an attractive addition to the home’s living space. Exit the basement level and step out into the sweeping backyard abutting the Grant Park Golf Course, where a cozy patio flanked by trees is a perfect spot for an evening campfire or daytime lunch. Wide, open lawns and generous driveway make this a tailor-made yard for kids, dogs and friends playing outdoor games. In the winter, sledding, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the park are literally just steps away.
