The Belmont is one of 10 models at Stoney Springs in Poolesville, a new community of single-family homes.

This elegant home showcases the standard features and upgrades offered, including nine-foot ceilings and recessed lighting throughout all three finished levels, a double staircase, custom woodwork and upgraded kitchens and bathrooms.

The exterior of the home has a stone-and-brick front and siding on the other three sides. The front door opens to a spectacular, two-story foyer with walnut floors and a dramatic curved staircase. A study with optional built-in bookcases is to the left. A large coat closet is tucked underneath the stairway, and a powder room with a pedestal sink and a ceramic floor is to the rear of the foyer. To the right is an open dining room and living room, both of which have standard crown molding and chair rail. Also off of the foyer is a hallway leading to the laundry room and the three-car garage.

Beyond the foyer, the open floor plan flows into the kitchen, the family room, the breakfast room and a solarium. The kitchen offers plenty of work space including a large island with pendant lighting, abundant maple cabinetry, granite countertops, and a desk area with built-in shelves. Stainless-steel KitchenAid appliances include a side-by-side refrigerator, double wall ovens, a five-burner gas stove with a retractable down draft and a built-in microwave. Other highlights of the kitchen are a natural stone backsplash and a ceramic floor with a customized border. The breakfast area can accommodate a large table.

An optional solarium is beyond the kitchen. It has two walls of windows which overlook the backyard. The ceramic floor from the kitchen extends to this room, which also features a tray ceiling with a ceiling fan and a separate HVAC unit. A pass-through to the kitchen makes it convenient to enjoy a meal in this room.

The focal point of the two-story family room is the natural-stone, wood-burning fireplace with a gas insert, which extends from floor to ceiling. A window wall provides plenty of natural light. Walnut floors and a coffered ceiling round out this room.

A secondary staircase with wrought-iron spindles leads to the second floor, where four bedrooms and three bathrooms are located. The owner's suite has a generous sitting area and sleeping area with a tray ceiling. Two large walk-in closets with built-in shelving provide plenty of storage.

A Jacuzzi soaking tub is standard in the luxurious owner's bath. Dual maple vanities with granite countertops and white under mount porcelain sinks are located on either side of the double doors which connect this room to the bedroom. A ceramic-tiled shower stall with metallic accents, a large linen closet, a separate water closet and heat lamps are other amenities of this room.

Three additional bedrooms are on the upper level, each with large closets, walnut floors and recessed lighting. Two of the rooms are connected by a shared bath which has a double sink and custom ceramic tile with glass inlays. The toilet and shower/bath combination here are separated from the sinks by a door, allowing plenty of privacy. The fourth bedroom has its own private bath.

The optional finished lower level features a large recreation room with plush carpeting and a full-service bar, including a refrigerator, a dishwasher and a sink. A separate area with built-in bench seats and brick ceramic tile functions as a casual dining area. A media room with wall sconces and beautifully detailed custom woodwork is set-up for surround sound. A large closet houses the components of the system. Also on this level are a den/study room and a full bath.

There are 98 half-acre home sites at Stoney Springs, which is off of Route 107 (Fisher Avenue) in Poolesville. Additional standard features are combination carbon monoxide/smoke detectors on each level, a high-tech wiring package and programmable thermostats.
