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, 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.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
