Set on a corner lot, this 1976 colonial home in Potomac offers many updates throughout the more than 2,700 finished square feet.

Nice landscaping, including mature trees, graces the facade of the all-siding home.

From the covered porch, the front door opens to a large foyer with parquet flooring, a double-door closet and a half-bathroom.

To the left, the dining room features a hardwood floor, a double front window, a crystal chandelier, crown molding and chair rail.

Beyond, the kitchen has been updated with Wilsonart flooring, maple cabinets, Corian countertops and stainless-steel appliances.

The adjacent breakfast room has a pantry and sliding glass doors to a large stone patio and fenced backyard.

A half-wall separates the breakfast room and the sunken family room, where a floor-to-ceiling, stone fireplace serves as the focal point.

This carpeted room opens to an added studio/media/multipurpose room, which has recessed lights, a wall of built-ins, a large picture window looking to the back, and glass sliders to the patio and yard. Mature trees and plantings back here provide privacy, ideal for entertaining and enjoying nature.

Access to the two-car garage is on the other side of the kitchen. The space has a workroom with a door to the rear yard.

The formal living room sits to the right of the foyer and boasts a quad of front windows and new carpeting.

A den/office is adjacent and has a window and a closet, rounding out the main level.

The home's five bedrooms are on the upper level.

The spacious master suite offers a sitting area, a walk-in closet in addition to a wall of closets, French-door access to a private balcony overlooking the patio, and an updated bathroom.

The hall bathroom and a linen closet complete this level.

A large recreation room with a walk-up, a laundry center and additional storage make up the finished basement.

Fresh paint and new wall-to-wall carpet are other recent updates.
