3 Mulberry Dr.

Welcome to a beautiful White Birch Lakes home in the heart of Hawthorn Woods! Oversized Marvin windows bring incredible light and gorgeous views into the expansive open floor plan. This home is ideally suited for comfortable daily living as well as easy entertaining. The kitchen was remodeled in 2016 - designed and built by DiGiulio - and it is loaded with thoughtful, high-end accents. The cabinets were made using a combination of stainless steel, walnut, mirrored stainless steel, white gloss lacquer doors, and dark brown bronze above the refrigerator/ovens. The countertops and cooktop backsplash are Bianca Perla quartzite, as are the sliding spice racks on both sides of the range. The chef's appliance package includes a SubZero refrigerator/freezer and beverage refrigerator and a Wolf 6-burner cooktop with griddle, convection oven, convection/steam oven, warming drawer, and drawer microwave. The large island seats five and features wenge wood (rare, African hardwood) accents. There is a large pantry just off the kitchen for added storage and an eating area to the right of the island with a door leading out to the deck. Open to the kitchen is the family room with a vaulted ceiling, skylights, and a gas fireplace. The formal living room has French doors with seeded glass and a Murphy bed, allowing the room to be used as an office or guest bedroom instead. The crowd-sized dining room can seat 14 and there's still space for your china cabinet or buffet. DiGiulio also remodeled the laundry/mud room which now boasts built-in cream/white laminate cabinets and closets, and Caesarstone Frosty Carrina countertops and backsplashes. A work table could easily be added for a homework area, a second office space, or to have a folding table. The primary suite features a large bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, his and hers walk-in closets, a walk-in storage area (could be finished), and a newly remodeled bath (2020) with a soaking tub, large luxury shower, heated floors and towel bar, ample storage, and lighted medicine cabinets. Three bedrooms upstairs share a remodeled hall bath. The basement is finished and includes a full bathroom, a gas fireplace, and an entertainment area with a sink and refrigerator. There is a back room for your workshop, art room, or storage with a large stationary tub. This home has a 2-year-old Generac whole-house generator fed by natural gas. The very private yard is fully landscaped with perennials and mature flowering trees - there is always something blooming! There is a deck with a hot tub and gazebo in back, and an invisible fence surrounds the house. The White Birch Lakes community - which is close to schools and the YMCA - has two lakes (Leo and Naomi) and hosts multiple events during the year. Homeowners and their guests can enjoy Lake Leo's private beach for swimming. Both lakes have boat launches (only electric motors are allowed).
