About this home

In the heart of Cambridgeport, 17 Tufts Street is a stylish condo combining the best of classic and contemporary design. Nine-foot ceilings, striking moldings, and a built-in traditional china cabinet harmonize with architect-designed details like floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, sleek custom cabinetry, and a dramatic tiled bathroom with radiant-heated floor. The kitchen features stone counters, stainless-steel appliances, maple cabinetry, and suspended track lighting. The bedrooms are generously sized and each includes custom built-in cabinets, with a walk-in closet for the primary bedroom. Other details include automated shades, ceiling-mounted Sonos system, two Samsung FRAME TVs, and painted floors, great light, and in-unit laundry. There's abundant basement storage too. Out back is a spacious covered porch that connects to a beautiful and rare exclusive-use patio, perfect for outdoor dining. Shopping close by, along with the Charles River and Morse Elementary School. Perfect.
