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. Recognized by the Historical Society of the Town of Brunswick as the original File Farm, the home takes its name from John Melchoir File, whose family settled this land and who fought in the Battle of Saratoga. 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 striking herringbone brick floor in the lower level offer a tangible connection to its 18th-century origins. Local archived accounts suggest the property may have served as a waypoint on the Underground Railroad, with the unfinished lower level believed to have provided discreet refuge. The home spans 3,444 square feet across three bedrooms and two and a half baths, restored and updated for modern living. An interior renovation introduced central air conditioning, fully updated plumbing, refinished hardwood floors, and marble bathrooms. French doors replaced the original living room windows and now open to a stone terrace overlooking the land, and the kitchen was extended to create a breakfast room. 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. Landscaping around the house and adjacent fields has been undertaken to restore the original character of the property. Despite the sense of seclusion, the location is well connected. Downtown Troy, with its vibrant dining scene and renowned farmers market, is ten minutes away. Albany is approximately twenty minutes, Saratoga Springs thirty, and Bennington, Vermont is within easy reach, with year-round outdoor recreation close at hand. This is a property where history is not simply preserved, it is experienced. 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.
