Right at the center of the home search Venn diagram for Boston area home buyer wants and needs, where you’ll find a “single family”, “townhome”, “urban”, “classic”, “spacious”, “bright” and “sunny” sits 7 Lambert Street in Roxbury’s Fort Hill. Built in 2004, the buildings maintain a classic, early American look, echoing much of the historic architecture that surrounds this eclectic Roxbury neighborhood. Inside, its design and clever updates provide all the comforts of the 21st Century!
Located around the corner from Alvah Kittredge Park, 7 Lambert is right in the heart of Fort Hill, a neighborhood speckled with community gardens, small parks and playgrounds, and right between the bustling center of Nubian Square and just across the Southwest Corridor Path from Jamaica Plain and Mission Hill neighborhoods. It’s one of those interesting spots that feels far enough removed from the city, but is just a little more than 2 miles from Downtown. Nearby Nubian Square is a hub of commerce that includes shops, restaurants, banks, and bus and Silver Line Access. The Orange Line, at Roxbury Crossing, is just 0.4 mi. from 7 Lambert’s front door. Beyond that, there are multiple restaurant both for take-out and dine-in along Tremont.
Three levels of living. Main living level is open and ideal for entertaining. Second level offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and laundry. Top floor has a large finished attic with huge walk-in closet and great potential for 2nd primary suite.
The unit itself, a tri-level townhome with 3 bedrooms, 2 full and 1 half baths, is a perfect single family alternative. The living room, dining room and kitchen, though distinctly separate, flow openly between. There’s also a half bath, a useful storage closet, and access to a private deck on the backside of the house. The second floor, with 3 bedrooms & 2 full baths (including a primary ensuite) is laid out with a fantastic custom-designed laundry closet conveniently central to the bedrooms. The third floor, already finished with vaulted ceilings and some excellent storage options, including a deep walk-in finished closet, has the potential to be a second primary suite. It’s always a plus when new homeowners have the option to add even more value!
All in all, 7 Lambert represents an opportunity to be in the city, have many of the privacies afforded single family home dwellers, and also have the modern conveniences of 21st Century construction. If you don’t know Fort Hill, it’s definitely a neighborhood with some distinctive characteristics and one that loves to be explored! Check out 7 Lambert during the showing schedule (see below).
