The Reading Room, a 5‑bedroom Victorian‑style house on Ocean Road in Narragansett, was relisted for $9.75 million after a price cut from $10.95 million.
Built in 1880 as a liquor‑free men’s club, the building moved to its current spot in the 1890s and became part of the Narragansett Pier Casino, the only surviving remnant of the grand resort complex.
A 2010 restoration earned Preserve Rhode Island and Rhody Awards recognition, restoring hardwood floors, stained‑glass windows, a grand staircase, and three fireplaces, while preserving the original bay‑view porches.
Spanning 5,099 sq ft on 0.69 acres, the home offers five bedrooms, two full bathrooms, two half‑bathrooms, a detached three‑car garage, and multiple sunrooms, giving buyers a rare private sanctuary with water views.
The property has sat on the market since June, and with the price reduction, it now invites prospective buyers to schedule viewings and submit offers before the end of the month.
