Set on more than two acres just outside Darnestown, this 1978 brick-and-siding colonial home has been renovated recently, offering elegant rooms with hardwood floors throughout most of the main and upper levels.

Out back, a new Trex deck overlooks a lush landscape that backs to woods. A newly paved driveway, and new front door and windows are other updates that add a fresh appeal to the home.

The sidelighted, leaded-glass front door opens to a large foyer with buttercup yellow walls accented with chair rail and wainscoting, which also run along the staircase. A coat closet and a powder room are conveniently located off the entry hall.

To the foyer's left, the dining room has dentil crown molding, chair rail, a crystal chandelier and two front windows. Hardwood floors run here and in the living room across the foyer. Two front windows and dentil crown molding also adorn this space.

Beyond, the new kitchen features maple cabinets, Silestone countertops, off-white appliances and plenty of pantry space. Ceramic tiles line the floors here and in the breakfast room — rustic with a wooden ceiling and a brick wall. Sliding glass doors access the deck that has steps leading down to the yard.

Off the dining room, a hallway to the left leads to the family room, which has a beamed cathedral ceiling, wood floors and windows on two walls. A floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace with a hearth and mantel keeps the space cozy.

An office with two front windows is off this hall.

The mudroom and laundry center are off the kitchen at the other end of the home, as are a storage closet and access to the sideload, two-car garage.

Oakwood also lines the stairs and all the rooms on the upper level.

The master bedroom, at the top of the stairs to the right, offers three closets including a walk-in, a lighted ceiling fan, and three windows including a pair overlooking the front. A double maple vanity sits right outside the master bath, which has a shower/tub combination and a back window.

Three additional bedrooms all have pastel-colored walls, and share a hall bath that has a tub/shower, a double vanity and a window overlooking the backyard.

A hall linen closet completes this level.

The unfinished basement has a walkout and rough-in for a future bath.

The home also has a new water heater and recently updated HVAC system, roof and siding.
