Hawthorn Woods

Attention-grabbing design conveys the ultimate in luxury living

A striking two-story entry, with dual custom curved staircases marks the Hampton model at Hawthorn Woods, an upscale community outside of Chicago. The prospective buyer at this Toll Brothers country club demands a home that impresses, so Mary Cook & Associates created a model with a private wine cellar in the basement and a two-story bookcase with a catwalk. The firm's combined understanding of the golf club lifestyle and Chicago-area living proved to be a powerful sales tool for this community.
