Welcome to Unit 408 in the Somerset, a thoughtfully designed studio in the heart of Dupont Circle that combines the character of a historic Wardman building with the advantages of modern construction. Originally built with the timeless architectural details Wardman buildings are known for and fully renovated in 2015, the Somerset offers the charm of historic DC with the convenience and peace of mind of essentially new construction. Perfectly positioned in one of the city's most beloved neighborhoods, this home offers an opportunity to enjoy the best of urban living, whether you are purchasing your first home, investing in a DC pied-a-terre, or seeking a low-maintenance city retreat.
Inside, every square foot has been thoughtfully utilized to maximize both function and comfort. A stunning bay window frames picturesque views of the Scottish Rite Masonic Temple and the tree-lined stretch of S Street, filling the space with natural light and creating a connection to the neighborhood that feels distinctly Washington.
The flexible layout is designed to adapt to your lifestyle. A kitchen island with built-in storage anchors the living area, while the Murphy bed easily transforms the space from bedroom to living room in seconds. A generous entry closet provides excellent storage, and everyday conveniences, including an in-unit combination washer and dryer, and central air conditioning make life easy.
The kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped for a studio home, featuring a stove/range, cooktop, wall oven, microwave, refrigerator with an ice maker, wine refrigerator, and dishwasher. The kitchen island, entry closet storage, and Murphy bed can all convey with the property at no additional cost upon buyer request. An electronic air filter further enhances comfort, while the building supplies hot water and the owner is responsible only for electric service, keeping utilities simple.
Beyond your front door, residents enjoy access to a fitness room, party room, and common laundry facilities, all within a professionally managed building.
Step outside and Dupont Circle becomes your backyard. Restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, Metro access, Rock Creek Park, and the vibrant energy of the 14th Street and U Street corridors are all moments away. This is city living at its most walkable, convenient, and connected.
The landlord is offering a leasing concession with a lease starting before 12/31! 2 months FREE rent for an 18 month lease, starting before 12/31, 1 month FREE rent for a 12-month lease starting before 12/31!
