About this home

Detached home! Set on one of Mid-Cambridge’s most beautiful streets, 17 Ellsworth sits within a cohesive stretch of restored Victorians, minutes from Harvard, Central, and Inman Squares. Built in 2017 by a well-regarded Cambridge builder, the home carries the proportions and presence of a classic Victorian, while modern updates deftly sidestep the hand-wringing that can come with old houses. The interior is refined, light-filled, and quietly contemporary, with high ceilings, large windows, white oak floors, and warm natural wood accents. The kitchen and dining area are seamlessly integrated, creating an inviting space for everyday living and gathering. Upstairs, an office nook and generous primary suite offer a calm retreat, while a skylit third floor adds a sitting area, bedroom, and bath. The finished lower level includes a family room, bedroom, bath, laundry, storage, and a separate entrance. A fenced bluestone patio and two-car parking complete this terrific offering.
