Nestled among the trees off of a country road, this colonial home gives a trim, neat appearance on the outside, but step inside the stained-glass, wooden door and murals, paintings, decorative trim, cutouts and much more dazzle visitors.

Owned by a Frederick interior designer, the home has many details throughout the large, elegant rooms.

Thick crown molding lines every room on the first floor, and chair rail with picture moldings add another touch. With lights built into the molding and recessed lights in many rooms, no aspect of the home is left out.

The foyer features hand-painted, textured walls, a mural and hardwood floors that extend throughout the first level. An office/den to the right has old sheet music collaged onto the ceiling for a unique look. A brick wall surrounds a wood-burning fireplace. A built-in bookcase flanks the fireplace.

The formal living room on the left is spacious and offers cutouts throughout the walls. Adjacent, the formal dining room features a fabric ceiling and large windows with plantation shutters.

Along the back of the home, a sun-filled gourmet kitchen is accessed through double doors. With granite counters, whitewashed cabinets and a large island outfitted with a cooktop, this kitchen is stunning. A pantry, wall oven and built-in microwave, as well as triple windows complete the space.

The adjacent family room features a picture window with gorgeous views, and a gas fireplace with marble surround flanked by built-in bookcases.

Through sliding glass doors from the kitchen, a three-level deck boasts a built-in hot tub with an outdoor shower and a built-in sandbox for the kids. A brick patio on the lower level offers a private spot for relaxing, and wooden steps down to the yard lead to a footbridge across a meandering creek.

Upstairs, another mural painted on the wall in the hallway is beautiful with two skylights offering natural light. The three bedrooms here are all large with carpet and well appointed. Each offers a large closet and a ceiling fan. A hall bath features a large vanity and ceramic tile.

The master suite boasts a vanity with sink behind closet doors, as well as a walk-in closet with organizers. A sitting room is accessed through double doors. The master bath is tastefully decorated.

Downstairs, the basement has been finished with carpet, recessed lights and wooden trim throughout the rec room. A half-bath and a laundry closet are just off of this room, and several closets offer storage space. A door leads to the attached, two-car garage that also has been finished.
