Lakefront living in the heart of bonita springs — a home that feels like a retreat. There’s a certain calm that settles in the moment you arrive. Behind the gates of hawthorne, this beautifully maintained lakefront home invites you to slow down, breathe deeper, and imagine a life shaped by water views, sunshine, and easy everyday living. Lovingly cared for by its original owner, it’s the kind of home where pride of ownership is felt in every detail—and where new memories are ready to be made. Even more compelling, it is currently the least expensive single-family home available in hawthorne by a significant margin, making it a rare opportunity in this sought-after community. Inside, more than 1, 800 square feet of light-filled living space unfolds effortlessly. Sunlight pours through the windows, highlighting 10 and 11 foot ceilings, graceful arched entryways, and a spacious great-room layout designed for connection—whether that’s hosting friends, gathering with family, or enjoying a quiet evening at home. Brand-new luxury vinyl plank flooring in all three bedrooms and gathering room adds a fresh, coastal elegance, while recent interior and lanai paint, stainless steel appliances, and plantation shutters throughout create a space that feels both refined and welcoming. The primary suite is a true sanctuary. Wake up to tranquil lake views, step directly onto the lanai, and unwind at night in a spa-like bath complete with dual walk-in closets, a frameless glass shower, and a deep soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, a home office, or creative space, while the thoughtfully designed laundry room and two-car garage with ceiling-mounted storage keep daily life organized and effortless. Outside, the lakefront lanai becomes your favorite room in the house. Mornings begin with coffee and birdsong as the water glistens in the distance. Evenings end with golden sunsets reflected across the lake. There’s room to add a custom pool and spa, or you can embrace the ease of hawthorne’s resort-style amenities—multiple pools and spas, tennis and pickleball courts, fitness rooms, and an active clubhouse—all with low hoa fees and the peace of mind that comes with being outside a flood zone. Perfectly positioned in bonita springs, hawthorne offers the rare balance of serenity and convenience. Two gated entrances provide quick access to gulf beaches, southwest florida international airport, and the revitalized downtown area—where kayaking the imperial river, strolling the wonder gardens, enjoying live music, and attending waterfront events at riverside park become part of everyday life. This isn’t just a home—it’s where mornings feel unhurried, evenings feel meaningful, and life in bonita springs truly comes together. Live where life feels better.
