This historic two-family Saratoga Springs home offers terrific investment potential just steps off renowned Broadway. Built in 1898, it offers timeless Victorian charm and unmatched convenience to all the highlights of Saratoga! Whether you plan to rent short term or long, your tenants will appreciate the proximity to the area’s most treasured downtown. Or, live in one unit yourself as these savvy sellers did and let the other unit cover your mortgage! 

Unit 1, 3BR, 2BA, Second Floor: Directly up the classic covered front porch steps you’ll find the private door to unit one, which is on the second floor. Inside the foyer the original staircase stands proudly and it’s the perfect drop zone for shoes, hang coats, etc.  At the top of the stairs, you’ll walk into the sun-filled living room with multi-dimensional light thanks to windows on two walls, which provide a bird’s eye view of Broadway! 

To your left you’ll enter the eat-in kitchen with refrigerator, dishwasher, gas range and a dining area. There is a back door to an enclosed area that leads to a back staircase which hasn’t been operational in years. Please do not attempt to walk down from here, but note it could handy access to the backyard for tenants, if desired. 

There are two bedrooms off the living space each large enough to hold a full/queen sized bed with well-sized closets. They share a full bathroom with tub/shower combination and pedestal sink. 

At the opposite end of the flat there is a primary suite overlooking Broadway large enough for a King-sized bed with an ensuite laundry room and primary bathroom featuring a walk-in shower and vanity. This entire floor gets beautiful natural light on even the darkest days! This unit can be sold furnished entirely for turnkey rental use! 

Unit 2, 2BR, 1BA, First Floor:

While smaller, this first-level unit offers two outdoor seating areas. The first is the covered wraparound porch perched facing Broadway where you can enjoy the gingerbread details of the exterior of the home and watch the buzzing activity of Saratoga, even on rainy days!

You’ll enter this unit into the large open dining room, which of course could be used as a living space, if preferred. To your left, you’ll find the spacious living room with a picture window and corner gas fireplace for ambiance. A closet in the opposite corner is at the ready for your coats and shoes. 

The kitchen is centrally located with a dishwasher, gas range with oven and refrigerator. A door leads out to the modern deck for easy grilling and outdoor dining with steps down to the level fenced backyard, a rare treat in downtown Saratoga Springs. There is a full bathroom with tub/shower combination and sink. 

Two bedrooms, each large enough for full or queen-sized beds are separated by the living space for privacy and each features a nicely sized closet and large windows. This unit holds personal belongings that will be removed prior to closing. 

Basement & Mechanicals: The basement is accessed from the exterior via the backyard and runs under the full home. It holds two natural gas-fired boilers providing hot water baseboard heat to each unit. There are two separate meters for gas and electric and window units provide air conditioning to cool the home. The home has two modern 100-amp electric panels. The roof is covered with original slate shingles and there is public water and sewer. The home is wrapped in painted clapboard siding with lovely Victorian details. There is a small parking area adjacent to the home, but Woodlawn has open street parking alternating by day. 

Location: This unique property sits just 2 lots from the intersection of Broadway and North Broadway, convenient to Skidmore College and everything downtown, popular for its seemingly unlimited dining options and retail shops. The famed Saratoga Racecourse and nearby Performing Arts Center bring visitors throughout the summer months as well. The property is inside the City of Saratoga Springs and the Saratoga Springs City School District and adjacent to the future Woodlawn Club, a new downtown elite social club, currently under construction. 

This period home has been lovingly maintained by its proud owners for more than 28 years as their home with occasional rentals. They’re hopeful a new owner will continue to preserve this piece of Saratoga’s history and take further advantage of its unbeatable location!
