Originally built in 1910 and completely renovated in 2000, the building blends historic character with modern systems. The property sits along brick streets with historic acorn lighting, new American flags, and majestic live oak trees.
Thornton Park is known for its energy, charm, and convenience.

Lake Lawsona Park is directly adjacent, offering daily lake walks and open green space. Every Tuesday evening, the onsite parking lot transforms into a neighborhood pickleball court enjoyed by residents and neighbors alike.
Residents often gather for community events such as backyard Super Bowl parties on an 18-foot outdoor screen or the annual Lawsona-Fern Creek Christmas Tree Lighting, a 26-year neighborhood tradition. The enclosed lakefront yard and adjacent parks make this location a dream for pet owners.
