This Victorian home features large rooms, site-finished hardwood floors, a wraparound porch, a tower room, custom cabinetry and much more.

Located in the Kentlands, the home is just minutes from the community pool, tennis courts and clubhouse. A picket fence runs along the front of the house and a side driveway leads to a detached, two-car garage.

A wooden front door with a leaded-glass insert, sidelights and a stained-glass window above, opens to a grand, open foyer detailed with crown molding and a crystal chandelier. Hardwood floors run throughout the main level. On either side of the foyer are the spacious living room and dining room, each with plenty of windows, custom molding and painted in designer colors.

A butler's pantry connects the dining room to the kitchen and features custom-built cabinetry with glass doors, a granite sink, and a cherrywood counter. The renovated kitchen is resplendent with handcrafted wood cabinets of a light sage green. A large window above the large sink looks out to the side yard. Other features of the kitchen are stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, ceramic backsplash, a built-in pantry with pull-out shelves and a broom closet. A door in the kitchen accesses the porch at the side of the house.

A bay window provides plenty of natural light to the adjoining breakfast area. A beadboard cabinet, with glass doors and a cherrywood top is built-in here.

The breakfast area is open to the family room, which has a fireplace flanked by built-in shelves. Two French doors with wood blinds lead to the airy screened porch, which overlooks the backyard. A large hall closet with closet organizers and a powder room are located off of the foyer.

A custom-designed newel post is at the foot of the stairway leading to the second level. Halfway up the stairs is a landing with a window, and the stairs turn. The upstairs is covered in plush carpet and has four bedrooms. The master suite is painted a lovely earth-tone shade and features a cathedral ceiling, two closets and four windows. The renovated master bath has a chair rail, dual vanities, a soaking tub, a ceramic floor, a shower stall with a glass door, and custom mirrors and light fixtures.

The tower room has a soaring 12-foot ceiling, large windows with a transom, a gleaming, new hardwood floor and a large closet. It can function as a bedroom or as a home office. The other two bedrooms on this level are both spacious and bright with plenty of windows and large closets. A pull-down stairway in one leads to the attic. A hallway bath and two linen closets also are on this level.

The lower level is covered in burgundy plush carpeting and includes a large recreation room with an entertainment nook; a laundry room with built-in, beadboard cabinetry and rod for hanging clothes; a full bath; a telephone nook and a large room that could function as a fifth bedroom, exercise room or office. Casement windows provide plenty of natural light.

A French door leads to a slate patio and the lush backyard. Mature landscaping including a large crepe myrtle, dogwoods, and azaleas provide color and beauty. A wooden fence lines the far end of the property.

A wooded area and playground extend beyond.
