We love Truro and have spent many a vacation in Truro at houses of friends and in rental houses. This two week vacation with our children, spouses. grand child and friends was idyllic . This house is a treasure. It is over 300 years old and sensitively modernized .It sits on a dead end road that ends near Ballston Beach on a large grassy and wooded lot with a tennis court in the woods. The location inside the National Seashore within walking distance of one of the worlds most beautiful beaches makes this house one of a kind. The house itself is full of charm. It is a lived in home full of antique furniture, photos and Edward Hopper reproductions. The floors are ancient varnished wide boards that do slope a bit. The kitchen is ample and fully equipped. It is part of the very spacious living area that occupies the front of the house.There are 3 working fireplaces downstairs . The upstairs bedrooms and bathroom have character but the steps up are not for the very young or the very old as they are steep. But what is most important is that living in this house makes everyone feel good. The whole experience is enhanced by the owners attention to details and responsiveness to his guests needs including tennis rackets, a stocked pantry, candles and a generally sparkling appearance. We would be more likely to return to this house than many others in Truro.
