14225 Alderton Rd

A day at Alderton begins with a cup of coffee on the spacious concrete patio, watching the sun rise through a screen of mist-wreathed trees and catching snippets of morning birdsong. Maybe there’s time for breakfast on the covered patio before starting a day of work in the light-filled home office. At the end of the day, perhaps neighbors join you for a glass of wine on the roof deck; in colder weather, you might instead be gathering around the fire in the spacious living room. The Neighborhood The .532 acre lot provided the opportunity for the design of a modern home establishing a contemporary design style for the neighborhood.

Conveniently located to downtown Washington DC (about 15 miles) and all 3 major airports (35 minutes to BWI, 40 minutes to Reagan and Dulles).

Alderton is a largely wooded area, within walking distance of trails, parks, public tennis courts, playgrounds, and the Mid-County Recreation Center. It is also close to shops, dining, and offices.
