From the Agent: "Welcome to The File Farm, known locally as the White House, a circa-1791 Greek Revival residence set on nearly 19 pastoral acres along Hoosick Road in Brunswick. From the moment you arrive, the home’s architectural presence is undeniable. Classic columns and a grand curved central staircase set the tone, while original moldings, neoclassical woodwork, exposed beams, brickwork, and a herringbone brick floor in the lower level offer a tangible connection to its 18th-century origins. An interior renovation introduced central air conditioning, fully updated plumbing, refinished hardwood floors, and marble bathrooms. A separately zoned unfinished apartment, with electrical already in place, offers flexibility as a guest suite, in-law space, income-producing rental, or future fourth bedroom folded back into the main house. Outside, a three-bay garage connects to the home via a covered walkway, and an original carriage barn adds further utility for collectors, hobbyists, or those seeking a live/work configuration. A rare blend of architectural integrity, land, and lifestyle, the File Farm offers both a connection to the past and a canvas for the future."
