Built in 1958, this distinctive home has had only one owner. The unusual floorplan offers dramatic, yet practical space. The two sided fireplace is the focal point of the dining room and the cathedral ceilings and walls of glass brings the wow factor to the living room. With a den adjacent to the table space kitchen, you have an extra space on the main level. Leave it as it is, or combine the rooms on the main level into one open space. The house also has the screened in porch that most buyers are looking for. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full baths. A finished lower level with a rec room and a sub basement level complete the picture. The house is located in what was originally known of as Upper Bannockburn. Ernest Cook, a local builder, acquired the land in 1954 and built three different types of homes on the 92 lots, a two level rambler, a larger rambler with a porch and only 3 split levels. This is biggest of the three split level homes that he built. The house is an in great location and just steps from the Merrimack pool which one can join and one Block from Bannockburn Elementary School. Most of the year the gate that controls access to the swim club is closed, making this effectively a dead end street. The location is convenient for commuting downtown via Canal Road, River Road or Macarthur Blvd and also to Virginia via the Beltway or Chain Bridge. Glen Echo Park and the canal, are also close by. The neighborhood sponsors a Newcomers dinner each fall, a Halloween party and a Spring show featuring neighborhood residents; all held at the Clubhouse. If you are looking for a real sense of “community”, this may be just the place for you!
