Monumental Elegance. An exceptional and truly rare offering at the prestigious Somerset House Condominium in the heart of Dupont Circle. This expansive combined three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence spans nearly 2,000 square feet on a high floor with exposures on three sides, offering extraordinary scale, natural light, and sweeping views of Washington, DC.

There are no true comparable residences. This level of open exposure and unobstructed views simply does not exist in the “Old City” Dupont/Logan neighborhood. With dramatic southern and eastern exposures, the home is flooded with natural light throughout the day, creating a bright and airy living experience.

Rich in architectural character, the residence features soaring ceilings, original moldings, and a grand sense of proportion rarely found in the neighborhood. The iconic Scottish Rite Templewith its monumental columns, becomes a striking and ever-present backdrop perfectly framed from both the living areas and primary suite, offering a view that is as dramatic as it is irreplaceable.

Originally built in 1917 by renowned developer Harry Wardman and converted in 2014 into 84 luxury condominiums, Somerset House underwent a comprehensive redevelopment including upgrades to windows, roof, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems.
A coveted parking space conveys.

Adding to the uniqueness of this offering, the future owner has the opportunity to work directly with Bruno Clay Management, the original design-build firm behind the building’s transformation, to customize and complete a fully bespoke residence. Existing plans and active permits are in place and may convey, providing a seamless path to execution.
This is a rare opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind, light-filled residence in one of Washington’s most architecturally significant and sought-after addresses where scale, light, and views converge in a way that simply cannot be replicated.
