Escape from daily stress at this "oasis" of a home in the established Cherrywood community in Olney.

Set on nearly one-half acre with mature landscaping all around, the 1985 brick-front colonial home also offers a two-tiered deck that leads down to an inground pool surrounded by mature trees and bushes. The setting invites relaxation – whether it's a dip in the pool or just sitting on a lounger with a glass of iced tea.

Inside, a spacious foyer with hardwood floors and a pair of closets greets visitors. A double-door coat closet and a powder room are conveniently located here.

Double doors to the right open to a carpeted study lined with built-in bookcases. Crown molding and a double front window finish the space.

To the left, the living room also has carpet that extends into the dining room. The dining features crown and chair-rail moldings, a brass chandelier and a bay window looking out back.

The kitchen area has Pergo flooring as well as oak cabinets, off-white appliances and laminate counters, a pantry and a built-in desk area. Wallpaper adorns the walls here. The breakfast room has a Tiffany-style chandelier and a double window offering a serene view of the deck and backyard.

The sunken family room has hardwood floors, a raised brick-surround fireplace flanked by built-ins, a lighted ceiling fan and a pair of skylights. French doors access the deck and yard.

The laundry room and a door to the attached, two-car garage are off of the kitchen, rounding out the main level.

Carpet lines the stairs to the upper level, which has wall-to-wall carpeting throughout. Three bedrooms and a glazed ceramic bath are the right of the stairs.

The master suite is to the left and offers windows on two walls and a sitting room that has doors to a Juliet balcony overlooking the foyer. A large dressing area has ample counter space with a single vanity, as well as a walk-in closet. A second vanity is in the master bath, which features a vaulted ceiling with a skylight, a step-up soaking tub and a separate shower. Ceramic tiles line the floor and the tub/shower surround.

A hall linen closet just outside the master bedroom completes this level.

The finished lower level includes a recreation room with recessed lights, built-ins and a wet bar. An exercise room with built-ins and a closet; a full bath with a shower/tub and a linen closet; and utility and storage areas also are part of the walk-up basement.
