Welcome to the David Thomas House, a rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored piece of Truro’s history. Built in 1910, this striking 2.5-storey Queen Anne home offers 3,328 sq. ft. of living space and has been thoughtfully reimagined for modern living while preserving its incredible historic character. Renovated from the studs, the home features 5 spacious bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and 9-foot ceilings on the main floor, alongside beautifully restored original details including the iconic staircase, solid wood doors and windows. Oversized crown moulding, custom millwork and an upgraded WETT-certified wood-burning fireplace further showcase the craftsmanship throughout. At the heart of the home is a stunning custom gourmet kitchen featuring a massive 9' x 52" granite island, oversized cabinetry, built-in wine fridge, 36-inch refrigerator with custom pantry cabinetry, propane range, granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting and backsplash extending to the ceiling. The second floor offers four spacious bedrooms, a modernized full bathroom and conveniently located laundry, complemented by custom wainscoting and shiplap. The original walk-up attic has been completely transformed into an impressive private primary suite occupying the entire third floor, complete with an ensuite and an abundance of closet space. Major upgrades include all-new electrical wiring with 200-amp service, a ducted Mitsubishi heat pump, an additional heat pump on the third floor, spray-foam insulation in the basement and concrete added over the original mud floor. Outside, the home's unmistakable Queen Anne architecture remains a showpiece, highlighted by its full-width wraparound porch, classical columns, spindlework railings and original period detailing. The David Thomas House in the heart of Truro offers something truly special—a beautifully restored historic home where 1910 craftsmanship meets modern luxury.
