Although this home is in an older Rockville neighborhood, it is a younger, custom-built residence set in a close-knit community. Built in 2006, this large house features three levels of crisp details including fresh paints, floors and woods.

White columns and flagstone make the large front porch a welcome entry. Inside the beautiful front door, which is enhanced by decorative glass, a marble foyer provides a roomy, welcome space. Gleaming hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, crown molding and contemporary light fixtures extend throughout the main level, and white plantation blinds are found on almost every window.

A sizeable window lets light into the formal living room at the front of the house, and a decorative display nook with its own light provides an elegant touch.

Two entrances to the dining room are each flanked with double white columns, and decorative moldings and chair rails make the space stylish.

Across the hall, French doors open to an office/library. Nearby, a scarlet powder room has a chic, glass vessel-bowl sink on the vanity.

The gourmet kitchen features cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, a convection oven in addition to a regular oven, a gas range, a corner walk-in pantry and a built-in desk with matching cabinets. A center island includes a counter-height breakfast bar. The adjacent eat-in area has a balcony overlooking the backyard.

Also at the back of the house, the great room has a soaring, 18-foot ceiling with decorative Palladian windows on the back wall, offering views of the mature trees, as well as a marble gas fireplace with a white wood mantel.

Downstairs, carpeting extends down the staircase and throughout the lower level. A large recreation area with recessed lights has closets and a sliding glass door to the backyard.

A large lower level bedroom has full-size windows and private access to the full bathroom, which features a stone-tile shower with a glass door and a Corian countertop.

A door to the two-car garage connects to the basement.

A hardwood staircase leads from the main-level hallway past the great room to the upper level, where four bedrooms each offer unique character.

The carpeted master bedroom, at the back of the house, has a vaulted, tray ceiling, large windows and walk-in closets. The large master bathroom includes a stone-tile floor, a granite double vanity, a stone-tile shower and a triangular hot tub set in a granite platform.

Adjacent is the laundry, which features an energy-saver washer/dryer and a utility sink.

Across the hall, the carpeted bedroom shares a Jack-and-Jill bathroom — including a separate sink area and a toilet/shower room — with a bedroom at the front of the house, which has a decorative semicircle window that extends into a semi-vaulted ceiling.

An additional bedroom at the front of the upper level has its own private full bathroom.

This neighborhood, which does not have a homeowners association, is in the Richard Montgomery school cluster. The house is about five minutes from the Rockville Town Center and the Rockville Metro Red Line station.
