    So it's not often in my 36-year career in real estate that you will find a home that checks every ''wow'' box. Well, this is the one... The current owners have transformed an older, tired city home into the most awesome display of a lovingly created work of art. That's probably the best way to describe it. Every soul that has seen it has said they would buy it, but it wasn't for sale...until now. The curb appeal, the unique layout, the restaurant-quality kitchen and pantry, the multiple expansive sitting porches, and the addition of historic-looking details (that, while new, you just can't tell the difference) are all present. The 3-sided fireplace, the first-floor master, and so on are just filled with the most warm and inviting details. While not overly large in size, it wears really big. But better yet is the oversized love and comfort exuding from every pore of this close-to-Broadway Saratoga home. You have to see it, even if you're not in the market; it's that good.
