Later known as the “Lion Gate Inn,” this property has 19th Century character with modern appeal. The owner’s living quarters offers privacy that captures the essence of graceful simplicity that stands the test of time. Absorb enchanting sunsets from a screened-in porch, one of the two decks, or throughout the kitchen and living areas. The luxurious master suite and an on-suite bedroom also have custom built-in closets. There is potential for separate guest quarters, returning the property back to its original grandeur, or to use for rental income. These much sought-after apartments are tucked into and around the perimeter of the building and offer four 1-bedroom, 1-bath studios that come with a strong rental history. Plenty of spaces in this home to relax, work, and live! Come and be captivated by this turn-key opportunity, summer or year-round, located just minutes from downtown Westerly.
