The Perrino Builders design-build experience at Hawthorne Golf Estates

Building in some of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Northeast Ohio for the past 40 years, Pat Perrino has never lost sight of the core principle in real estate: location.

As owner of Perrino Builders, Pat is now breaking ground on homes in a new neighborhood developed by Hawthorne Golf Estates, LLC in Solon, while completing the last three homes in the West Pines community in Willoughby Hills. Both developments are skirted by acres of preserved parkland, making them highly desirable places to call home.

“Having a park in your backyard, in essence, extends your property with beautiful views,” Pat says. “The custom homes we will be building in Hawthorne will have direct access to South Chagrin Reservation, offering scenic hiking and biking trails, a stocked fishing lake and other outdoor adventures just steps from home.”

Set to break ground this spring, the new neighborhood developed by Hawthorne Golf Estates is being built on the grounds of the former Hawthorne Valley Country Club, next to 150 acres of preserved natural space, maintained by the Metroparks.

“We are taking reservations for lots right now so buyers can choose a homesite that backs right onto parkland,” Pat says. 

Perrino Builders is designing homes tailored for active adult living (ages 50+), featuring lock-and-leave convenience—ideal for homeowners who travel frequently or split their time between Ohio and warmer destinations. 

“We cater to homeowners who are not necessarily downsizing but are instead rightsizing,” Pat says. “Many of our buyers spend the winter months down south but want a home here in the summer to be close to the grandkids and family.”

Thoughtfully developed to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings, Hawthorne encourages a lifestyle of comfort and connection. The Perrino Buiders homes in this neighborhood feature spacious, single-level homes—with options for one-and-a-half stories and walk-out basements—open floor plans and inviting outdoor areas designed to encourage relaxation and community interaction. Whether it’s quiet mornings on the patio, walking the nearby Metropark trails or friendly gatherings with neighbors, residents can enjoy each day at their own pace.

While the outdoors is picturesque, the home interiors are just as stunning. There are eight Perrino Builders models to choose from, ranging from 1,600 square feet up to 6,000 square feet. 

Perrino Builders offers a full-service, design-build experience—from architectural planning to interior design. There is an in-house design center where homeowners can select all their materials—from flooring and cabinetry to fixtures and finishes. An adjacent furniture store makes it easy to complete the look, ensuring the interior design is both cohesive and turnkey. 

“The reason we have won so many building awards is that we are the complete home solution,” Pat says. “From the sticks and bricks to the flooring, lighting, furniture and décor, we build and furnish our homes in all different styles. From French Normandy to modern farmhouse, craftsman and New England styles, we provide inspiration for whatever look a homeowner wants.”

“Homeowners appreciate that everything is coordinated,” he adds. “They don’t have to run all over town making design decisions. We handle the entire process from start to finish.”

Perrino Builders’ reputation has been shaped by its long-standing legacy of building in Solon communities such as Signature of Solon, Chagrin Highlands, The Preserve and The Woodlands. But the company’s footprint spans well beyond the East Side. 

“We are building all over Northeast Ohio, stretching from West Pines in Willoughby Hills to Magnolia Meadows in Sheffield,” Pat says. “We also can remodel your current home or build a new one on your own lot.”
