This one-of-a-kind stone house in Roxbury's Fort Hill neighborhood sits on a large lot in an area zoned for three-families, offering an investor a chance to add to this charming single-family home.
The five-bedroom house at 34 Lambert St. was built in 1905 with native Roxbury puddingstone. It has five levels of living space, with a nice flow of rooms on front and rear levels separated by half-flights of stairs. The home has oak floors throughout, added by the current owner in 1984, and many of the original interior wood moldings and triangular-topped windows have been maintained.
Factored into the $895,000 asking price for the 2,556-square-foot home is the right to add two more connected units on its empty rear lot facing Norfolk Street.
A wood-sided entry foyer has oak floors and a coat closet, and there's stone facing along one wall.
To the right is a living room with 11-foot ceilings, a brick fireplace, two front windows and a side bay window bump-out. There's also an alcove that is used as a home office. Stairs from here lead down to a formal dining room with oak floors.
Adjacent to the dining room is a spacious kitchen that has lots of windows, white cabinets and white ceramic-tile floors. Redone in the mid-1980s, the Formica counters and black Jenn Air and Kenmore appliances could use some updating.
A half-bathroom added in 1984 is off the kitchen, along with an alcove holding a full-size washer and dryer.
The master bedroom is in the rear of the house up a half-flight from the living room. This oak-floored double-height room has a triangle-topped window set into a puddingstone wall and a light/fan suspended from the ceiling. A second, front bedroom also has oak floors. Between them is a full bathroom, redone in 1984, with ceramic tile floors and surround for a deep soaking tub as well as a walk-in shower.
A half-flight up is a bedroom currently used as a family room with oak floors and a fireplace, with views out another triangular-topped window.
A final half-flight leads up to two rear-facing bedrooms with hardwood floors that both offer decent city views.
The basement heating system was added in 1984, but there is no central air conditioning. The full basement has a workshop area and lots of additional storage space.
There's a shared driveway along the side of the house, and more parking in the large backyard lot.
