One of Truro’s oldest homes, this beautiful 1827 antique sits on 1.85 acres of natural landscape, set well back from the road for privacy. Period details – original floors, wainscoting, moldings, built-ins – blend with thoughtful updates, including a spacious family room and wraparound covered porch. The 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath layout features a large eat-in kitchen, and multiple gathering spaces inside and out. According to local lore, Henry David Thoreau stayed here during his summer visits to Truro, drawn by his friendship with the pastor of the nearby church. A sizable outbuilding offers endless possibilities, and there’s room for a pool. Enjoy proximity to the Blackfish restaurant, Truro Center, Pamet River, and the farmers market, with Fisher, Corn Hill, and Ballston Beaches all accessible via scenic back roads.
