This rarely available 2 bed 2 bath condo at The Somerset House is in like new condition and in the heart of Dupont Circle!

This special condo is drenched with sunlight throughout the day, with exposures on three sides! It features original Oak hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings, original moldings, detailed paneling and trim, recessed lighting and large windows.

Entering the unit, you are greeted by a welcoming foyer that leads directly into the generous living space and large windows with a flexible living and dining space. Adjacent to the living room is a spacious eat-in gourmet kitchen. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, larger than many single family homes, with stainless steel appliances, a Bertazzoni gas range, marble island, and ample countertops and custom cabinets all the way up to the ceiling. Thoughtfully designed, the space + oversized island is large enough to cook, entertain, and dine. The kitchen also has an additional built-in banquette, surrounded by a beverage fridge with bar area and additional cabinets. You'll never run out of kitchen storage space.

In addition there are two bedrooms and two full baths. The primary bedroom has so much light, multiple closets with custom organizers, and an ensuite bathroom. The bathroom has a tiled walk in shower, larger mirror and quartz vanity countertop. On the other side of the condo for full privacy is the 2nd bedroom that also has a spacious custom closet and a 2nd full guest bathroom in the hall with a shower/tub. There is a washer and dryer in the unit that’s seamless in its own closet and also an additional deep coat closet in the foyer.

The Somerset House Condominium is a lavish Wardman building completely gutted and converted in 2014. The best of city living, new design, and classic historic DC architecture. The amenities include a lobby, front desk concierge, a wine room, party room, fitness center, overflow laundry, a bike room and extra large private assigned storage. The condo is also investor friendly and pet friendly. If you are interested in parking, inquire about a rental spot that is currently available for $250 a month.
