Welcome to this epitome of historic elegance in this 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo at Somerset House, a historic 1917 landmark in Dupont Circle built by Harry Wardman.

From the moment you enter, you’ll appreciate how thoughtfully this home has been fully remodeled. The open-concept living and dining area is bright and welcoming and the high ceilings, original moldings and hardwood floors are spectacular. The sleek, modern kitchen boasts contemporary cabinetry, a Bertazzoni range, a Fisher and Paykel refrigerator, wine fridge and marble countertops. The building includes a full-time concierge, a fitness center, a wine/party room, and a bike room. Pet-friendly and located near Dupont Circle and Logan Circle’s shops, conveniences and restaurants, this condo is an ideal urban oasis.
