Rarely does a home offer this level of flexibility, location, and lifestyle. Nestled on a beautiful tree-lined street in the heart of Grosse Pointe Shores, this charming Cape Cod delivers sought-after first-floor living with room for everyone. The spacious first-floor primary bedroom opens directly to a private backyard patio surrounded by beautifully maintained perennial gardens, creating the perfect setting for morning coffee, quiet evenings, or effortless indoor-outdoor living. At the heart of the home, the kitchen flows seamlessly into a comfortable family room overlooking the backyard. A large doorwall leads directly to the paver patio, creating an ideal connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces and making entertaining a breeze. Just off the kitchen and family room, the dining area features its own fireplace, adding warmth and character while creating an inviting space for everyday meals and holiday gatherings alike. The gracious living room, also anchored by a fireplace, offers a welcoming setting for relaxing or entertaining guests. An attached two-car garage adds everyday convenience. Upstairs, you'll find two spacious bedrooms, a full bath, and abundant closet space. The lower level offers remarkable flexibility and can function as a private guest suite with full bath, home office, recreation space, or additional bedrooms depending on your needs. Whether you're accommodating guests, working from home, or creating multi-generational living space, the possibilities are endless. One of the property's most unique and valuable features is a small portion of the lot extending into Grosse Pointe Woods, allowing the future owner eligibility for both Grosse Pointe Shores and Grosse Pointe Woods resident park privileges. Access to two exceptional waterfront park systems is a rare and highly desirable benefit that enhances the already outstanding lifestyle this home provides. Located just moments from Lake St. Clair, marinas, waterfront parks, shopping, dining, and everything that makes the Grosse Pointes so desirable, 83 Hawthorne Road combines timeless Cape Cod charm, flexible living spaces, and an exceptional location into one truly special offering.
