SCARBOROUGH – The classic exterior of this Greek Revival home in Dunstan Crossing is reflected in the artful, simple elegance of its interior design.

There is but one wall color, a light pewter. It changes subtly according to the sunlight and the time of day, and provides a graceful backdrop to the home’s wealth of special features.

One deft touch is the brick of the living room’s fireplace, repurposed from a 19th-century building in Bath. The gourmet’s kitchen has a Cambria quartz island, with seating, and in contrast, black granite counters. Appliances are stainless Thermador, including a six-burner gas cook top and convection microwave and wall oven. Backsplashes are glass tile; those in the radiant-heat butler’s pantry, which has its own dishwasher, are stacked stone.

Other highlights include a year-round sunroom, an abundance of French doors, and a first-floor master/guest suite. As for the second-level master bedroom, “palatial” comes to mind, when you walk from the big front bedroom through an extra wide doorway and hall (laundry enclosure on one side, “his” walk-in on the other) into a gorgeous bathroom with lots of Carrera marble, and a freestanding soaking tub. The 12-foot, rainhead walk-through shower has a basket-weave floor and striking, black vertical tile walls.

In addition to a utility/storage room, the lofty-ceilinged lower level adds 878 square feet of finished space, one huge room that allows for exercise, media, etc., or a fourth bedroom. It has  walkout (to a large patio and a well-screened back yard that borders the association pond), and primarily daylight. A separate room is plumbed in for a bath; the tub is already in place.

The nine-room, 4,794-square-foot home at 16 Colonel Dow Drive, Scarborough, is listed at $850,000 by Bridgette Vermette, Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist at Keller Williams Realty. Taxes are $8,520 (2016); the monthly association fee, $52.
