About this home

Mid Cambridge. Tastefully renovated in 2024 with high-quality materials and brand-new electric, plumbing, and heating/cooling systems, this classic top-floor condo set on a one-way, leafy street a few short blocks from Harvard Yard and across the street from the Cambridge Main Library, 55 Ellery is more than a home—it’s a launchpad for a true Cambridge experience. Inside, this warm, grounded, and effortlessly modern home offers abundant light, white oak details, and copious storage; the dine-in kitchen blends functionality and style, with open shelving, farmhouse sink, and a gracious sitting area, all with access to a south-facing private deck nestled under a lush canopy of mature trees. The open and inviting living space is the heart of the home, bringing all together with ease. A large common patio is perfect for gatherings. Within a few blocks is some of the best food and coffee in Cambridge—with Pammy’s, Waypoint, and Asaro nearby. Harvard, Central, and Inman within easy distance.
