RIDING LIGHTS, named for the navigation lights used to illuminate anchored vessels at night, is a rare waterfront offering in North Truro. This iconic 6-bedroom, 4.5-bath home, originally built in the 1920s and thoughtfully expanded over the years, blends historic character with an extraordinary coastal setting. Its distinctive stucco exterior and conical architectural design captured the attention of renowned artist Edward Hopper, who painted the home in the 1930s. The heavily vegetated dune face provides natural stability while enhancing privacy, and a private walkway leads to a pristine sandy beach. Enjoy sweeping views of Provincetown, Cape Cod Bay, the Sagamore Bridge, and the mainland beyond. A truly exceptional legacy property, RIDING LIGHTS offers the rare opportunity to own an important piece of Truro history and create cherished memories for generations to come
