This stunning townhome in King Farm is convenient to shopping, restaurants, major roadways and the Metro.

The exterior offers a brick front, lush landscaping and a series of brick stairs leading to the front door. The spacious, sunken foyer features a high ceiling with a contemporary, hanging light fixture.

Three wide steps lead to the main level, where hardwood floors and warm paint colors flow throughout the unique floor plan. A closet is at the top of the steps.

A large, elegant dining room is to the left, with a railing overlooking the foyer. This room features crown molding, chair rail, and a unique crystal-and-chrome chandelier. Two large windows, with custom rods and draperies that convey, provide plenty of light.

The kitchen is accessible from both the dining room and the hallway at the top of the foyer steps. It features oak cabinets and Corian countertops. Appliances include a Jenn-Air gas cook top, a double oven, a built-in microwave, a dishwasher, and a side-by-side refrigerator. An angled countertop, with a high bar and plenty of room for stools, runs along the sink area.

The kitchen is open to the living room, which boasts a built-out gas fireplace with an extra-deep mantel. This room also features crown molding, recessed lights and a ceiling fan. The back wall has triple windows with wooden blinds and custom draperies and rods. A French door leads to a small deck.

A powder room with a pedestal sink and crown molding also is on this level.

From the living room, a stairway leads to the lower-level family room. A triple window bathes this room with natural light. A two-story, rear foyer with a French door and an arched window above, adds a lovely touch.

The French door leads to a slate patio and a detached, two-car garage beyond. A large unfinished area provides plenty of storage, but could be finished as a fourth bedroom. A half bath and rough-in for a full bath are on this level as well.

The upper level features wall-to-wall Berber carpeting in the three bedrooms.

The master bedroom is painted a pale yellow and features a lighted ceiling fan and two walk-in closets with built-in wooden shelving. The adjacent bathroom is resplendent with a corner tub with detailed ceramic tile and a separate shower stall with a seat. A contemporary light fixture illuminates the double sink. A water closet and a linen closet are here as well.

The other two bedrooms are painted in soft colors, each with windows and a closet. A full bath along the hallway has a double sink, a ceramic floor and a tub/shower combination.

A laundry area and linen are also on the upper level.
