Brick quoins accent the exterior of this three-level colonial on a landscaped lot of almost one acre. South of New Market and just off Interstate 70, the location is convenient for commuters. Large families will appreciate the two master suites, ideal for multigenerational living.

Low cabinets with a pass-through divide the family room from the kitchen.

The space features ceramic-tile floors, laminate countertops and recessed lights. Appliances include a built-in microwave.

To the rear of the kitchen is a large, window-wrapped morning room. Floored with ceramic tile, the space features a cathedral ceiling and a gas fireplace topped by a fanlight. French doors off the morning room are ready a future deck.
