The Hawthorne was designed to feel like home from the very first step inside—warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully curated. Every detail, from the finishes to the layout, was chosen with care to make every corner feel intentional, elegant, and deeply purposeful.
Tucked on just over 2 acres, The Hawthorne is more than just a new build—it’s a vision brought to life through a powerful partnership from Ashley & Adam Friesen. Designed with intention and an eye for detail, this custom home blends the ease of modern living with fine craftsmanship, shaped by Ashley’s passion for design and Adam’s construction expertise.
A Vision Brought to Life
From the start, it was a joint effort. Ashley’s refined sense of style was matched by Adam’s desire to create something built to last. With his unique eye for structure, flow, and the small details that make a space feel solid and sound, Adam brought a layer of quality and craftsmanship that ensures The Hawthorne isn’t just a beautifully designed space—it’s a home you can count on.
Inside, you’re immediately welcomed by natural light pouring through oversized glass doors, drawing your gaze toward the expansive back porch beyond. The main living area invites connection and comfort, with a vaulted ceiling, a sleek gas fireplace, and a built-in wet bar—perfect for everything from cozy nights in to effortless entertaining.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen stuns with a blend of beauty and function. Quartz countertops, a custom-crafted hood vent, and a generous 8-by-4-foot island set the stage for both culinary creativity and everyday gathering.
The primary suite is a private oasis, with vaulted ceilings and a striking light fixture suspended from a wood beam, adding a refined, rustic touch. The en-suite bath exudes luxury, featuring a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanities adorned with quartz countertops and elegant gold fixtures—every detail designed to evoke a spa-like sense of calm and indulgence.
“I wanted every part of the home to feel connected—visually, emotionally, and functionally,” Ashley says. “The layout flows in a way that encourages gathering, but still allows for quiet moments of retreat. The kitchen, especially, is the heart of the home. That oversized island isn’t just a design element—it’s where conversations happen, where memories are made. That balance of beauty and purpose was at the core of every design decision.”
A Natural Next Step for Threshold

The Hawthorne also marks a milestone for Threshold Real Estate. While real estate remains at the heart of what they do, Threshold has expanded its vision—offering not just guidance in finding the right home, but also in creating it. With a deep understanding of what today’s buyers are looking for, a passion for thoughtful design, and lasting craftsmanship, they’ve stepped into the homebuilding space with the same care and commitment that defines their real estate work. The Hawthorne is one of the first of many—an embodiment of that next chapter, where expert insight meets intentional living, and every house becomes a home.
