Just east of Middletown, this brick-front colonial at the foot of Braddock Mountain features three finished levels on one acre of land.

Approaching the front, the walkway curves around a landscaped bed to an entry portico with Doric columns. Fan molding above the front door adds detail, as does the dentil molding at the roofline and the keystones that cap the first floor windows.

The entry, flanked by sidelights, opens to a two-story foyer with hardwood floors and gets light from an arched window above. Off the foyer are a coat closet and a powder room with hardwood floor and a pedestal sink.

Left of the foyer, double doors lead to a study, also with hardwood. To the right, the foyer opens to a hardwood-floored living room, accented with crown molding. Both the crown and hardwood continue into the dining room beyond, which also has chair rail.

Double French doors from both the living and dining room open onto a large sunroom, allowing circular flow. Wrapped by tall, arched windows, the sunroom features a ceramic-tile floor and a cathedral ceiling with a fan.

Arranged around a center island with an eat-in bar, the kitchen has recessed lights, Corian countertops, ceramic-tile flooring and maple cabinetry. The all stainless-steel GE Profile appliances include a built-in microwave. The breakfast area also has ceramic tile and a sliding door awaiting the addition of a deck.

Past the breakfast area is a large, sunken family room with neutral carpet, a ceiling fan and a fireplace with gas logs. Also on the main level is a laundry/mudroom with ceramic tile and a utility sink, and access to an attached, two-car garage.

On the neutral-carpeted upper level, double doors open onto the master suite, featuring a 20-foot by 20-foot bedroom with a tray ceiling and a fan. There also are two walk-in closets. A second set of double doors lead to the master bath, which has a ceramic-tile floor, a dual vanity, a large soaking tub and a shower with custom tile and glass doors.

There are three additional bedrooms on the upper level, a linen closet and a hall bath with ceramic tile, a dual vanity and a tub/shower.

The walkout lower level includes a large recreation room, a fifth bedroom and a home office/media room, all three with Berber carpet. Sliding doors from the rec room provide access to the level backyard, surrounded by an invisible fence. Adjacent to the office/ media room is a full bath with ceramic tile and a tub/shower. A large, unfinished storage room completes this level.
