Discover a truly unique rental opportunity: one of the area's original 1870s... farmhouses, thoughtfully expanded into a spacious and inviting 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence.

Set on nearly half an acre, the property feels like a private, wooded retreat quiet, magical, and surprisingly tucked away given the prime location.
