Property Description

Tucked into more than 12,000 SF of lush, professionally landscaped gardens, 8 Ellsworth Avenue is a rare Mid-Cambridge retreat that feels immersive, private, and almost impossibly green-yet it's just blocks from Harvard, Inman, Central, and Kendall Squares. The original 1887 brick home sits quietly among the trees, its rich masonry and gabled roof anchored to the landscape. A striking two-level glass atrium connects it to a shingle-style addition that feels lifted from the Adirondacks, with organic materials, steep lines, and lofty interiors. The open-concept kitchen and family room overlook the verdant backyard through a wall of windows; above, the primary suite offers cathedral ceilings and a tree-framed porch that brings the outdoors in. With 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 4,307 SF-including a home gym and sauna in the lower level-this is a home with architectural substance and a meaningful connection to its site, in one of Cambridge's most walkable, vibrant neighborhoods.
