The Reading Room, one of Narragansett's most iconic properties, is now available for the first time in over 50 years. Situated on almost 3/4's of an acre in the heart of the Pier and closely abuts the Narragansett Towers, seawall and Town Beach. Property was meticulously restored in 2010 to its original splendor and has received Historic Preservation awards from both Preserve Rhode Island and the Rhody Awards. This property enjoys sweeping water view porches, water views from almost every room, intricate details, multiple year round sun porches, historic chandeliers and a unique Tower room. This is your opportunity to live in the center of it all with this once in a generation opportunity. Property has previously been utilized as a Social Club affiliated with the Historic Narragansett Casino, a residence and most recently a legal non conforming office.
