Spacious rooms, plenty of storage and many upgrades, all in an incredible setting, make this home ideal for almost any family. Built by Pulte, the Poolesville home features five bedrooms, including one on the main level, and five bathrooms and one half bath. Both the front and back yards are professionally landscaped.

The gracious, two-story foyer offers hardwood floors and a large window above the front door. A library with built-in shelves is directly to the left, and the formal living room and dining room are to the right.

Both the living and dining rooms have beautiful moldings, hardwood floors and custom window coverings. French doors in the dining room lead to a lovely screened porch with beamed ceiling and fan. A door here leads to a deck with a hot tub, a slate patio, a lighted sports court and a grassy backyard.

The back of the house has a comfortable, family feel. The huge kitchen features granite countertops with coordinating black appliances. Abundant oak cabinetry, including a built-in desk, provides plenty of workspace and storage. A center island provides space for casual dining and the open breakfast area with chandelier has room for a large dining table.

The sunken family room is directly off of the kitchen. It features a cathedral ceiling with skylights, recessed lighting, a fan and a brick, gas fireplace. Atrium windows look out to the backyard. The porch is accessible from this room.

Beyond the kitchen is a separate laundry room with a sink and built-in cabinets, a closet, and access to the two-car garage. A full bedroom with private bath also is in this corner of the house. It has double closets and triple windows that provide incredible views of the backyard. A spacious powder room is on this level.

Plush carpeting covers the stairs on the open staircase and runs throughout the entire upper level. Custom moldings adorn the walls of the hallway.

The massive master suite offers a sitting area at the front. The sleeping area features a vaulted ceiling; large, overhead, lighted niches; and another sitting area. Two walk-in closets have custom organizers. The roomy master bathroom has skylights, a ceramic floor, double sinks, a corner bathtub, a linen closet and a water closet.

Three additional bedrooms are on this level. One has a large, built-in desk, a walk-in closet, and its own bathroom. The other two bedrooms are connected by a large bathroom with double sinks, skylights, a newly tiled bathtub/shower and a separate water closet. These two bedrooms are both spacious and have walk-in closets with custom organizers.

The finished lower level provides space for recreation and storage. At the base of the stairs is a paneled room with a huge closet that would function as a home gym or office. A massive recreation room with Berber carpeting has room for a pool table or other game table. A den with recessed lighting has a walk-up to the backyard. Additionally, there is a utility/storage room and a separate dry storage area. The home includes two new high-efficiency water heaters, a gas furnace, and sump pump with a battery backup.
