Hawthorn Investments Addition in Cohasset

August 29, 2011

Hawthorn Investments Addition in Cohasset Some of the locals came out to see the finishing touches applied to the Hawthorn Investments project on Hull Street in Cohasset.

The addition consisted of adding a second story to an existing Cape Cod style home on a fantastic piece of land located between Nantasket Beach in Hull and Sandy Beach in Cohasset.

The project added a three bedrooms and a full bath to the second floor and turned an unused three season porch on the first floor into a bright, sunroom.

Other updates included a new HVAC system, new electrical system, recessed lighting, new hardwood floors, new staircase and more.

Check out the project page  here  for more information and a complete slideshow that shows the before/during/after pictures for a unique perspective on the project.
