Kennedy of Kinlin Grover Real Estate named broker for Truro home

A 2,304 s/f, 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home located at 38 Pond Rd. is being offered for $1.8 million. Rose Kennedy or Kinlin Grover Real Estate is the broker for this property. The post-and-beam beach house nestled into a Truro dune with boundless bay vistas, where timelessness is tangible, has a disability-friendly design. The home - which was built in 1940 - was bought in 1975 and trucked on a trailer bed from Wellfleet to this site at a cost of $3,500. The interior was given design features for people of all ages with disabilities, and expressly for the home's handicap resident army private Terry Snider, who served in the Vietnam War. "Creating a handicap-accessible home anywhere is a challenge, but especially so at the beach," said Snider's wife Mary Hutchings. "We have felt privileged to enjoy the beach house as our year-round family home for 23 years." A crushed shell lane weaves to the home between Cold Storage Beach and a flowering meadow. Nature has turned timber remnants of a century-old railway trestle atop the meadow into a sculptural tribute to this Pond Village setting, which was a commercial fishing, farming and railway center of yesteryear. The home's grand, fir-floored, open-design living, dining, kitchen, loft and two-chamber master suite occupy the top floor. Every room has entrancing panoramic views of Cape Cod Bay, sunsets and land's end at Provincetown's Long Point. Accessibility features include wide, pine interior doors with brass lever handles and a wide, oak staircase with a motorized lift to ground-level bedrooms, a lounge, laundry and bathroom. Wide, sliding glass doors open to ramps and decks of all-weather, composite planks around a flower garden. The main bathroom has a large, no-threshold shower, and there's an all-terrain beach wheelchair with balloon tires.
