Views from Hunting Creek Club
Montebello is on the hill up over looking the Eisenhower Valley and the Potomac River. I took this picture yesterday while standing on a balcony at Hunting Creek Club. We were there to do a walk-through inspection for a sale that is closing tomorrow. The view here was actually very striking, but I didn’t take many pictures as I knew my camera wouldn’t really do it justice. If you’re seeking a nice view, proximity to the metro and you’re trying to maintain a tight budget, Hunting Creek Club is a great one to consider.
