If you crave the warmth of a period farmhouse, delight in the creak of wide plank floorboards underfoot, and long for the privacy and peace that life in Greenfield affords you, this just might be home. Originally built circa 1790 as a tavern, it later became the home of the town's physician, Doctor Johnson, with an office out front that still stands. Today's sellers have cherished this home, maintained its original charm, and thoughtfully improved it since 1972. The home has stood tall on this prominent corner of Brigham Road in the heart of town for 236 years. The home is conveniently located just 4.5 miles from downtown Saratoga Springs and sits on 2.9 private acres with level lawn, mature maples, and fruit trees adjacent to a town park and across from the award-winning Greenfield Elementary School within the Saratoga School District. Highlights include a wraparound porch, covered patio, original staircase and trim work, wide plank floors, ADK fieldstone fireplace, second staircase, spacious eat-in kitchen, 3 mini-splits for heat/air conditioning, replacement windows, cedar siding, two-car garage, three outbuildings: a heated workshop, a\shed, and the original ''doctor's office'' which was rebuilt with two rooms plus full bathroom that just needs its mechanicals updated for use as an office, guest cottage or more! Greenfield is popular for its idyllic country setting, privacy, and proximity to Saratoga, the Sacandaga area and the North Country. There is an active recreation department with events for all ages, and the Town's own Brookhaven Golf Course is just a couple miles up the road. This period home has been lovingly and thoughtfully maintained by its proud owners for 54 years. They're hopeful the new owner(s) will be good stewards and find joy in continuing to preserve this lovely home, a valuable piece of Greenfield's history, with the same passion.
