Nestled in Urbana Highlands, this three-level colonial offers its owners convenient access to Interstate 270 and area schools. Shopping is close by as are walking trails, a community pool and a new county library. Families will appreciate a spacious floor plan that includes three full baths on the bedroom level.

Beneath a hipped roof, the home's distinctive brick front features corner quoins, a prominent bay window and a two-story portico with square columns.

Inside, the sense of height continues in the two-story living room. Filled with light from both a bay window and an adjacent wall of windows, the soaring space offers chair rail and crown molding. The room's bamboo flooring continues throughout the main level.

Likewise, the living room's crown molding and chair rail extend into the dining room. Tucked underneath a second-floor loft, the intimate space includes a brass chandelier.

The adjacent kitchen has oak cabinets, a laminate countertop and a center island with an eat-in bar. There also is a pantry and a built-in desk. Appliances include a built-in microwave and a Bosch dishwasher. Sliding doors from the breakfast area open to a rear deck overlooking the backyard and the wooded easement that marks the edge of the development.

Beyond the breakfast area is a large family room with a ceiling fan and a fireplace featuring gas logs and a marble hearth. Back stairs, tucked behind the fireplace, provide additional access to the upper level.

A powder room with a pedestal sink, a laundry with vinyl flooring and an attached, two-car garage round out the man level.

The bamboo flooring continues throughout the upper level. At the top of the stairs, a large loft study with crown molding overlooks the living room below. To the right of the stairs, double doors open to a master suite with a massive bedroom. Additional sets of double doors lead to both the suite's walk-in closet and the master bath. The bath has a ceramic-tile floor and two vanities flanking a central, soaking tub. There also is a private toilet area and a shower with glass doors and a tile stall.

Three additional bedrooms are on this level. Two flank a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with ceramic tile and a tub/shower combination. The other has a private bath, also with a tub/shower combination.

A sauna with a separate dressing area and a shower is the unique feature of the walkout lower level. Also on this level are three spacious rooms fit for a variety of media and recreational uses. Connected by double doors, all the rooms have Berber carpet. Sliding doors from the center room also provide access to the backyard. A half bath with a pedestal sink and a large storage/mechanical room complete this level.
