Integrating a human living space into nature in an environmentally sensitive way was Bonner's passion, and a trademark of any Bonner home is using natural sunlight and preserving trees. Ken built about 65 homes, including my first home in Reston on Buttermilk Lane in the Uplands neighborhood of North Reston. It backed up to beautiful, treed lot with a creek at the bottom of the backyard. It was a fantastic place to raise our family.
What is lesser known in Reston is that Ken also designed townhome communities. Among them, Colts Neck Cluster. This community is comprised of 60 townhouses in South Reston, near the intersection of Colts Neck Road and South Lakes Drive. Escalante Court is off South Lakes Drive and next to the South Lakes Drive Park. Greywing Court is off Colts Neck Road.
Built in 1972-1973, these contemporary townhomes are three levels with cedar siding exteriors. The 1,600 to 2,000 square feet homes feel much larger because of Ken's attention to every detail.
The Colts Neck community is close to the Reston National Golf Course and the Hunters Woods Village Center Shopping Center. It is also within two miles of the Reston East Metro station.
These lovely homes are not only perfect for anyone looking for well-designed, contemporary architecture in a close-knit, townhome community, they represent a piece of what makes Reston such a great place to live.
