For Rent: Historic German Brownstone Farmhouse in Derry Township. Discover the charm of this beautifully restored German Brownstone farmhouse, nestled on a serene 3-acre parcel in the heart of South Central Pennsylvania. This exceptional rental opportunity places you just 5 minutes from Penn State Hershey Medical Center, with easy access to major cities like Harrisburg, Lancaster, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New York City. This home offers a unique blend of historical elegance and modern comfort. The secluded property is ideal for those seeking tranquility, with the added benefit of accommodating horses, goats, and chickens (zoning details available on the Derry Township website). The house itself is rich in history, featuring unpainted extensive woodwork, original exposed beams, antique black cast iron thumb latches, and 200-year-old hand-made glass windows. Step into the former front parlor, now a welcoming living room with newly refinished wide plank floors, complemented by original old growth pine on the second floor and 70-year-old solid oak pegged floors on the main level. A well-drafted fireplace with a Heatilator system ensures warmth and comfort. The kitchen is a chef’s delight, with bespoke Black Walnut cabinets made from trees on the property, a new Bosch refrigerator, a high-end Viking range, and Lapidus granite countertops. Four spacious bedrooms featuring exposed beams and rich hardwood floors are perfect for those who appreciate rustic charm. The updated bathrooms combine sleek, modern fixtures with the timeless appeal of this historic home. Enjoy the peaceful outdoor setting, complete with a curved brick patio under an ancient Dogwood tree, a converted cistern fishpond, and a secluded pool area surrounded by cottage gardens. The property also includes a 1760s log cabin, offering potential as a guest house or pool house. Additional features include a newly carpeted third floor, cedar-lined closets, potential for bedroom expansion into suites, and B&B zoning potential. This is more than just a place to live; it’s an opportunity to reside in a piece of history, carefully preserved and updated for modern living. Don’t miss out on making this extraordinary farmhouse your next home.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
