Welcome to 5817 Freesia Drive, a beautifully upgraded, move-in ready home completed in August 2025 in Lakeland’s desirable Hawthorne Ranch community. Situated on a premium corner lot, this stunning 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence combines modern construction, designer-selected finishes, and thoughtful custom upgrades throughout, offering buyers the opportunity to enjoy the feel of new construction without the wait.
From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal stands out with upgraded exterior stone accents, a pavered driveway and entry, manicured landscaping, and a fully fenced backyard that adds both privacy and functionality. Inside, the Marque-A floor plan by M/I Homes offers an open-concept layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining, enhanced by elevated finishes rarely found in builder-grade homes.
The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen featuring upgraded quartz countertops, extended cabinetry, a designer range hood, tiled backsplash, upgraded wood-look tile flooring, and a seamless flush display above the kitchen cabinets for a clean, modern aesthetic. The kitchen opens effortlessly into the dining and family room areas, where tray ceilings and upgraded LED puck lighting create a bright and sophisticated atmosphere. Custom shelving added in the dining room and secondary bedrooms provides both style and functionality.
The spacious owner’s suite was thoughtfully upgraded to create a true retreat, complete with tray ceilings, additional lighting, a spa-inspired bathroom with dual sinks, a frameless glass shower enclosure, recessed shampoo niche, and shower tile extended all the way to the ceiling for a luxury finish. Beautiful wood-look tile flooring continues throughout the entire home, including all bedrooms, creating a cohesive, low-maintenance design with no carpet.
Outdoor living was not overlooked. The covered and screened 12x10 trussed lanai provides the perfect space to relax, entertain, or enjoy Florida evenings year-round. Additional upgrades include an epoxy-coated garage floor, upgraded WiFi-enabled garage door opener with battery backup, hurricane fabric shutters, gutters, underground drains, smart home automation features, extra electrical outlets, soft water loop, upgraded 8-foot interior and front entry doors, and a premium Diamond Package that enhance both style and functionality throughout the home.
Beyond the home itself, the location offers outstanding convenience for both daily living and commuting. Hawthorne Ranch is located near Lakeland Linder International Airport, GEICO, Publix Corporate offices, and the Publix shopping center at County Line Road. Residents also enjoy quick access to I-4, making travel to both Tampa and Orlando convenient for commuters, entertainment, dining, and major employment centers.
Built in 2025 and meticulously customized beyond the builder’s standard package, this home offers the ideal blend of modern style, functionality, energy efficiency, and peace of mind. With nearly $50,000 in builder upgrades plus additional post-closing enhancements, this exceptional property stands out from typical new construction options currently on the market. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, major roadways, and everything Lakeland has to offer, this is a rare opportunity to own a nearly brand-new home loaded with upgrades in one of the area’s growing communities.
