Two skylight sleeping quarters, each with en-suite baths, extensive storage and mirrored headboards, are on either side of the living/kitchen area.

Candy Factory Comes to Cleveland Park

A few blocks from the Cleveland Park Metro station and steps from Melvin C. Hazen Park, this low-slung bungalow has more space than meets the eye. The deep living/dining room to the right of the entry hall has a fireplace and a window seat. The impressive eat-in kitchen occupies the rear of the house with radiant tiled flooring, a partially-vaulted ceiling, a series of skylights, and a custom island that repurposes a marble slab sourced from a candy factory. Each of the bathrooms is finished in contrasting tile-work, including the main level bath with a sauna-like shower and glass block window. The upstairs landing offers bonus space fit for an office or seating area, and the bedrooms retain charming elements original to the house. The lower level has plenty of raw multipurpose space; the house also has a driveway and detached garage.

• Price: $1.4 million
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: Three
• Square Feet: 2,488
