The enchanting, screened porch has a gabled roof with a ceiling fan and is the perfect spot for entertaining or relaxing! Fabulous location - This house sits on what's called "the hook" of E Halbert, a quiet cul de sac that is the venue for communal basketball games and street block parties including an annual Halloween potluck. The Bannockburn Swim Club and Clubhouse just down the street is the jewel of the community, which houses a nursery school, community events and a lovely playground. Great location â close to Glen Echo Park, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Towpath, and Downtown Bethesda. Easy access to River Road, Massachusetts Avenue, Clara Barton Parkway, the GW Parkway, Chain Bridge, I-495, and just minutes to DC.
