Located at 4 Slade Hill Road in the historic Corn Hill area of Truro, Massachusetts, this remarkable residence dates to 1774 and reflects the town's rich colonial heritage. Built during the Revolutionary era, the home stands as a rare example of early Cape Cod architecture and is recognized as a certified historic property. Situated on a wooded lot near Corn Hill and the shores of Cape Cod Bay, the property embodies the rural character and maritime history that have long defined this section of Truro. Over the centuries, the house has evolved while retaining its historic significance, with the property also featuring a separate cottage and a former horse-farm structure that has been repurposed as a garden shed. While 4 Slade Hill Road retains much of its historic character and charm, the home would benefit from a range of updates and improvements to meet modern standards and expectations. Deferred maintenance, aging building components, and the need for interior and exterior renovations present an opportunity to preserve and enhance this significant historic property.
Outer Cape, located between Cape Cod Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, is a coastal and conservation-minded Eastham neighborhood with dune-backed beaches and pine-scented trails. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Orleans–Eastham Rotary at US-6 and MA-6A, where roadside seafood shacks, bike-rental counters, and beach-day essentials set a salt-air tempo. Low-slung Cape cottages and shingled homes sit behind scrub oak, with long driveways and dark-sky nights. The Cape Cod National Seashore frames daily rhythms with Nauset Light Beach and Coast Guard Beach. The Cape Cod Rail Trail threads through town for car-free rides to ponds and bay flats. The Eastham Windmill and the Three Sisters Lighthouses keep local history in view.
