51 Faxon Street | 5BR Renovated Colonial with Pool in Braintree, MA

The Home

Renovated for the way you actually live.

Built in 1925 and brought forward to meet what South Shore buyers expect today. The roof, vinyl siding, windows, electrical, plumbing, and driveway were all replaced in the 2016 renovation. A brand-new high-efficiency furnace was installed in early 2026.

The kitchen is gourmet-grade — granite, double wall oven, stainless steel — and hardwood runs through every main living space. The 19-by-17 primary suite carries a cathedral ceiling, walk-in closet, and en-suite bath with a Jacuzzi tub, marble flooring, and double vanity. Two bedrooms sit on the main level for flexible single-floor use.

Then there is the backyard — and the backyard is the reason this home is unlike anything else on the market in its band.

The Backyard

The backyard you don't see twice.

A private resort built across 0.36 acres.

A heated saltwater fiberglass pool — installed in 2021, with a new pump (2024) and new salt-water system (2025) — anchors a custom paver patio. The integrated Badu swim-jet system turns the pool into a current-resistance workout when you want one and a place to float when you don't. The covered pavilion is its own room: a built-in bar, a high-definition projector for movies under the stars, and ambient string lighting that turns dusk into the best hour of the day. Just off the pavilion sits a finished outdoor half-bath and a dedicated outdoor shower — so pool days never track water through the house. An expanded entertainment deck connects everything to the kitchen and dining room. Modernized irrigation keeps the lawn green from May through October.

Saltwater pool seen from the rear deck with the pavilion in the background — Heated saltwater. Badu swim-jet. Open from spring through fall.

View from the deck looking toward the covered pavilion and outdoor bar — Covered pavilion with bar, projector, and string lighting.

Finished outdoor half bathroom inside the pavilion at 51 Faxon Street — Finished outdoor half-bath. Dedicated outdoor shower.

Main Level

The main level opens around a 25-by-21 living room anchored by a stone-clad gas fireplace, flowing into a 16-by-13 open dining room and an 18-by-12 vaulted kitchen. The kitchen carries a center island, granite counters, double wall oven, full stainless suite, and direct exterior access to the entertainment deck. Two bedrooms on this level offer flexible space for guests, a home office, or true single-floor living when you want it.

Upstairs

Upstairs, the 19-by-17 primary suite carries a cathedral ceiling, a walk-in closet with custom built-ins, and an en-suite bath with a Jacuzzi tub, marble flooring, and a double vanity. Two more bedrooms occupy the second floor — including a 15-by-13 room with custom cedar closets and built-in storage that doubles as a dressing room. Laundry is on the second floor, where it belongs.

The Big Things, Already Done

A 100-year-old home with the systems of a new one.

Buyers in this band tell us the same thing: they don't want to inherit a capital-improvement list. The current owners spent the last decade systematically retiring that list — roof, siding, windows, electrical service, plumbing, irrigation, driveway, security, and most recently, a brand-new 2026 high-efficiency furnace.

What's left to do is decorate.

New 2026 high-efficiency furnace
Heated saltwater fiberglass pool — 2021, with new pump (2024) and salt-water system (2025)
Roof, vinyl siding, and insulated windows — 2016

Plumbing overhaul — 2016
Paved driveway — 2016
Washer and dryer — 2016, second-floor placement
Modernized in-ground irrigation
ADT security system, Ring doorbell, fire and CO alarms
Central forced-air heat (gas), central air conditioning

Aerial view of 51 Faxon Street and the surrounding East Braintree neighborhood with Davis Park visible across the street

The Block, The Town, The Region

East Braintree's best block. Davis Park across the street.

51 Faxon Street faces Davis Park directly — a town park with playground, basketball, picnic seating, and open lawn that effectively extends the property's usable green space by an order of magnitude. The broader Faxon Park system — roughly 90 acres of walking trails, ball fields, soccer, disc golf, and a picnic pavilion — sits steps further down the road. Boston is 12 miles north. The South Shore Plaza is five minutes west. The Greenbush commuter rail is a twelve-minute walk.
