39 Holmes St

Braintree, MA 02184

What if you could buy the timeless home you’ve been dreaming about - and skip the to-do list? Welcome to 39 Holmes St, a meticulously maintained Braintree home where the character is intact, the updates have been completed, and everything has been done for you! Set in a prime Braintree location, this home offers an exceptional combination of charm, comfort, and convenience. The Quincy Adams MBTA Red Line station is just one street away (0.2 miles), while nearby highway access makes getting to Boston remarkably easy. Inside, hardwood floors flow throughout the home, adding to its timeless character. The spacious kitchen is truly the heart of the home - updated and designed for gathering, with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, a vent hood, and island. The living area is filled with natural light from a lovely bay window and includes a built-in bench. The welcoming dining room is adjacent, and you could swap these rooms too - this floor plan is flexible! A convenient 1/2 bath completes the first floor. Upstairs, you’ll find 3 comfortable bedrooms, a full bathroom, and one of the home’s surprise features - generous closet space you don’t expect in a home of this character. The basement offers even more versatility. Larger windows bring in natural light, while a walk-out door provides easy access to the exterior. Fully waterproofed, this space doesn’t feel like a basement at all and offers storage, workspace, gym, or future potential. Outside, there’s even more to love. The welcoming front porch adds to the home’s curb appeal, and around back, the deck creates another space to relax and enjoy. The corner lot makes the yard feel larger, with a mature hedge providing privacy and definition and a built-in fire pit. A detached garage provides additional parking and storage. And the updates are extensive. Recent improvements within last 5 years include a new hot water heater, basement waterproofing and sump pump, 200-amp electrical service, lead service line replacement, front porch renovation, new first-floor furnace and AC system, whole-house water filtration system, back deck improvements, garage updates, and refreshed upstairs bathroom finishes. Prior owners completed a new roof (2012), a second-floor furnace and AC system (2014), and attic and basement insulation (2017). This is the rare home where you can appreciate the character without inheriting the projects! Showings begin at first Open House on Thursday 8/13, 4:30-6:00 pm.
