Stroll down the driveway from the gracious entrance on esteemed Ocean Rd & you can smell summer in the air! Expansive ocean frontage with spectacular views & deep local history blend in this incredible offering not to be missed. 3 beds, 3 baths in 2563 sq. ft. of living space, the original dwelling, fondly known as "The Barnacle", was 1st located near the present Narragansett High School & constructed a century ago. Built by a writer & a painter, the 2-original ocean-facing rooms have interior shingles, vaulted wooden ceilings, & fireplaces that exude peace & tranquility. Modernized over time & moved to its present location in 1974, the same creative spirit lives on & has inspired multiple generations of family members who have been fortunate to linger here. Huge windows flood the family room with light & a beautiful spiral staircase joyfully ascends to an artist studio loft.
