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.
Residential Districts are intended to provide appropriate space for housing and associated uses for the people of the town. They should provide safety, good access, and the opportunity to enjoy the peace and beauty of the property and the Town.
