 Walk to downtown Saratoga Springs NY & the Saratoga Race Track 

 

Come vacation in Saratoga Springs for the excitement of the Saratoga Race Track and all year 'round! Circa 1872 brick Italianate Victorian, was built by, and became the residence of, famed architect George Washington Ainsworth, conveniently located in Saratoga Springs NY East side Golden Rectangle, and walkable to the thoroughbred racetrack , Fasig Tipton horse sales, & downtown Saratoga Springs.
