In the quiet and highly desirable Riderwood community, the estate drive to 8308 Thornton Road takes guests over Roland Run Stream, past sweeping lawns shaded by mature specimen trees, and up to a charming, stone English Cotswald style home. Landscaped gardens frame the walk to the covered porch of this 4 Bedroom, 2/2 Bath home. A paneled entry door opens into a Foyer with red oak flooring stained English chestnut that extend throughout the space, and provides access to the Living Room, Kitchen and an adjoining Den with paneled walls, fireplace and bowed bay window with window seat.

The adjacent Living Room enjoys an over-sized fireplace with stone hearth, access to the front yard, and a wide paneled portal to the Dining Room flanked by built-in bookcases with base cabinets. Abundant natural light flows throughout the Dining Room from a stunning floor length picture window. Double doors lead to the nearby Kitchen with blue pearl granite counters, stainless appliances and an attached Breakfast Room with separate Wet Bar and Laundry.  Exposed chestnut beams, walnut paneled walls, a picture window, built-ins and a fireplace with brick chimney wall create a comfortable atmosphere in the adjacent Family Room. Two doors provide access to the back yard and gardens.

The Second Floor features a Master Bedroom Suite. The spacious Bedroom enjoys abundant light, a Dressing Room, marble Master Bath, and a door leading to a porch with a relaxing hot tub. Two additional Bedrooms (one with dormer alcoves and window seats) and a Bath complete this level. A forth Bedroom spans the Third floor with built-in bookcases and access to a Dressing Room, Powder Room and closet. The Lower Level features a Recreation Room with pine paneled walls and two built-in bookcases as well as an additional storage room/home gym.

A beautiful stone Patio sits along the back of the house with paver stone steps leading into a terraced English garden with firepit. Situated on nearly 2.5 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds in this sought-after community, 8308 Thornton Road is a wonderful combination of convenience, luxury and charm.
