A Three-Bed Brookland Bungalow

This three-bedroom, three-bath house in Brookland is fully updated, with a huge backyard that leads out to ample parking. We are fans of the bright, open concept first floor, where a fireplace centers the living space. Upstairs are the master and second bedrooms, while the basement holds a third bedroom with separate bath. It’s currently accessed via a staircase in the kitchen, though it has its own opening onto the backyard, too. The two-level back deck, complete with ceiling fan, leads out to a deep backyard and parking for three cars.
