This quintessential wood shingle summer cottage stands as a testament to classic coastal living in Narragansett. The property commands sweeping views of Sand Hill Cove, Galilee, the adjacent bird sanctuary, and Roger Wheeler State Beach, offering a front-row seat to Rhode Island's stunning coastline. Character abounds throughout this seaside retreat, where exposed beams, rich wood paneling, and hardwood floors create an authentic beach house ambiance. The main level unfolds with an open living and dining area that flows seamlessly onto a water-facing deck, perfectly positioned to capture magnificent sunsets. Two inviting bedrooms complement a distinctive back-to-back twin sleeping porch, while a half bath and outdoor shower cater to sandy feet and beach-day convenience. The lower level reveals a versatile studio complete with a half bath, kitchenette, and sleeping area. An unfinished basement with walkout access provides practical laundry facilities and abundant storage. The property's position between two available parcels—124 Houston Avenue and a vacant lot at 0 Houston Avenue—presents compelling expansion possibilities. Currently serving as a cherished summer haven, this residence offers the potential for year-round living with the addition of heating. The property benefits from town water and sewer.
