About this home

Maybe your first home really does come with a white picket fence. Welcome to 71 Sheppard Avenue, a charming 1940s Cape that feels like the perfect place to put down roots in Braintree. With just under 1500 square feet of living space, four bedrooms, one full bath and a flexible two-level floor plan, there’s room to grow into this home and make it your own. Two fireplaces add warmth and character, while the unfinished basement offers plenty of additional storage and possibility. Outside, the manageable, flat and level lot gives you your own little piece of the outdoors — without spending every weekend maintaining it. But what makes a home like this special isn’t just the number of rooms. It’s imagining your first holiday here, planting something in your own backyard, painting the walls whatever color you want and knowing that, little by little, you’re building equity in something that belongs to you. Your first home doesn’t have to be your forever home. Sometimes it’s simply the home that gets you started — and this one just happens to come with the white picket fence.
