Luxurious & Private Downtown Saratoga Springs Home Next to Race Track
Welcome to 8 Nelson Avenue. This one of a kind modern farmhouse located in downtown Saratoga Springs is the perfect retreat to relax and enjoy all Saratoga has to offer. The Saratoga Race Track is a short walk down the same road and both town & SPAC are 1.5 miles away.
8 Nelson is the perfect mix of old and new. The home boasts 200 year old floors, four wood burning fireplaces (two of which are in the bedrooms!), vintage hardware & doors, a brand new gourmet kitchen, updated baths and a new heating/cooling system. The Kitchen is fully equipped with marble and granite countertops, a wine fridge, stainless steel appliances, a Wolf stove and dual fueled ovens. While Saratoga is known for its restaurants and nightlife, you might find it hard to leave this room! It is an ideal spot for entertaining.
The Kitchen opens up on one side to both a cozy family and dining room, while the other end's sliding glass doors bring you out onto a sprawling lawn where you can take in the serene views.
The outdoor terrace is another great place for entertaining. It is equipped with a grill, beautiful patio furniture and chaise loungers. A large fire pit with six Adirondack chairs surrounding it is located next to the terrace. Enjoy morning coffee in the screened in porch off the kitchen. The First Floor also hosts a guest bedroom with a full-size pull out sofa (from Crate & Barrel, it is extremely comfortable) and a second full bathroom can be found on this floor.
On The Second Floor, you will find the remaining two Bedrooms with a staircase on either side of the home. The Master Bedroom has a California King Bed; The Upstairs Guest Room has a Queen Bed (it is off of the Master Bedroom with a staircase leading into the Downstairs Guest Bedroom). Both of our children's bedrooms are also on this floor but they will be kept locked and we ask that guests respect our privacy.
Brimming with charm and only a stones throw from all Saratoga has to offer, 8 Nelson is an ideal way to experience this charming little town.
NOTE: We only rent to responsible adults and families. No parties. No loud groups. Full time residents live on both sides of the house. If you are coming to Saratoga to rent a house for a large group to ‘party in’, this is not the house for you.

Have spent our entire married life enjoying Saratoga for long weekends...finally committed to two full weeks!! Immersed ourselves into all that Saratoga has to offer while enjoying the comforts of a home away from home! The home and property are beautiful, and the owners were very gracious in guiding us throughout our stay. We had friends and family join us throughout our stay and hands down early morning on the screened porch overlooking the pond and fields was a favorite. We cooked many meals in and would make one comment for others planning to rent for an extended period and enjoy being able to cook dinners at home...cookware and cutlery was limited for a full house of 8. It wouldn't effect those who planned to enjoy the many fabulous restaurants in town (or a smaller crew!!) but for us evenings at home enjoying good food and wine was part of the intrigue of the home. Thanks again to our wonderful hosts.

I love this property! It is beautiful!
If I knew this home was for sale last year in Saratoga we would have purchased it ourselves! Our daughter was married across the street at The Lodge and we wanted the comforts of home so the bridal party could get ready! This house is well equipped with everything we needed, the owners are a nice as can be, and we had a beautiful relaxing day which is exactly what we wanted! We will definitely stay here again!
