Introducing The Somerset, a stately 16'8'' wide brick and limestone rowhouse designed in 1918 by renowned DC architect George Thomas Santmyers. This embassy-style residence stands proudly on a tree-lined block in Kalorama Triangle - one of DC's most architecturally rich and coveted neighborhoods. Meticulously updated while preserving its original grandeur,… Read More The Somerset blends historical charm with modern comforts. Recent upgrades include a new roof (2021), both chimneys relined (2021), new HVAC system (2025), newer washer/dryer, fresh paint, and replaced rear decking. Step through the grand front entry into a gracious reception room with original moldings and a wood-burning fireplace. Beyond the reception room, a generous family room features newly installed cashmere carpeting (2021), an en-suite marble bath, and a flexible bedroom space that could be used as a guest suite, office, or home gym. The heart of the home unfolds upstairs, where a formal living room with a second fireplace and trio of arched windows creates a dramatic yet inviting entertaining space. The elegant dining room, complete with a 6-foot mahogany pocket door, leads to a professional-grade kitchen with an adjacent breakfast area. French doors open to a beautifully designed, multi-level garden and freshly updated and painted deck - an entertainer's dream. A rare 2-car tandem garage sits just beyond. Upstairs, three large bedrooms await under three stunning skylights. Two full baths, including one with a steam shower, and custom closet space complete the upper level. The Somerset is nestled on a quiet block of mature Ginko trees and surrounded by the finest examples of Georgian Revival, Colonial Revival, and Mediterranean architecture. With a 94 Walk Score, enjoy being moments from metro access, Rock Creek Park, Dupont Circle, and the city's top dining and shopping. Read Less
