This sun-filled, brick-and-siding colonial home — built by Craftmark in 2000 — is part of Rockville's Palatine Oaks community, within the sought-after Thomas S. Wootton High School boundary.

High ceilings, spacious elegant rooms and upgrades distinguish this home, which boasts about 6,000 finished square feet on three levels, in addition to a deck, a gorgeous yard and a sideloading, three-car garage.

The open, two-story foyer sets the tone for quality and style that is evident throughout the home.

Another noteworthy space is the two-story great room, which lives up to its name with a floor-to-ceiling, brick fireplace surrounded by windows that stretch all the way to the soaring ceiling. A wine bar and a rear staircase also are here, and a bright coral paint on the walls and shadow box molding adds a dramatic contrast to the overall neutral color scheme.

Adjacent, the tiled sunroom has a gas fireplace with a distressed-wood mantel, as well as windows and a door to the yard and deck.

The gourmet kitchen has hardwood floors and generous windows, as do the formal living and dining rooms.

Maple cabinetry, granite countertops, a ceramic backsplash and upscale appliances outfit the kitchen, which includes a pantry and a breakfast room. The center island includes a five-burner Thermador gas cooktop and a breakfast bar. The space has recessed and pendant lighting, as well as under- and over-cabinet lighting.

The laundry/mudroom sits off the kitchen area and offers access to the garage.

A study includes French doors, wood flooring and thick crown molding. A powder room with a pedestal sink rounds out the main level.

The upper level presents four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including those in the owners' suite.

The spacious suite includes a sitting area and a walk-in closet, as well as a luxury bathroom with a corner tub, a separate shower, a double vanity, a linen closet and a private toilet room.

Two of the smaller rooms are connected by a buddy bathroom, which has a double vanity, a linen closet and a private water closet as well as a tub/shower. A hall bathroom and a linen closet complete this level, which has carpet in the rooms and hardwood flooring in the hallway.

The expansive lower level has a large recreation room featuring a wet bar. There is a walk-out to a flagstone patio sheltered by the deck above. Additional spaces for exercise and a media room, along with a second half-bathroom, also are here.

Beautiful landscaping graces the grounds. The front also features an impressive columned portico with a decorative balcony above.
