What are the home’s most valuable features for prospective buyers?

The exterior features a traditional white picket fence to accent the wraparound front porch, perfect for entertaining, and a three-car garage with a bonus room upstairs with endless possibilities. The interior is a classic historical home complete with charm and modern amenities, with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths.

How would you describe the home’s style/floor plan?

The home’s style is a traditional colonial built in 1890, and the spacious, two-story floor plan provides separate, but connected living areas perfect for accommodating several home-work stations. The addition in the back of the home has a large family room and back staircase so as to not disturb the primary bedroom.

Are there any unusual amenities?

The family room has a bonus full bathroom and a bar perfect for entertaining. The home has 2 fireplaces, and a large den off the living room that could easily be converted to a first floor bedroom.

What’s your favorite thing about the property?

The location – steps away from downtown Saratoga Springs and historic Franklin Square, this is a classic in-town, historical gem. Enjoy the swing on the front porch after the short walk to town for dinner or a coffee. The area has recently undergone a transformation with new construction and an investment in rehabilitation of historical homes.
