↑ Lysander Court (check here for address), three-bedroom, two-bathroom house, 2,085 square feet, $3,500/month. This is actually a “corporate rental by owner,” meaning it requires at least a six-month lease and comes fully furnished with cable, Wi-Fi, $200 utility allowance, and bimonthly maid service. However, it can be rented for $2,700 unfurnished with no utilities or maid service included. The new, two-story home in Montopolis has a natural stone exterior, vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a two-car garage.

↑ 1217 Castle Hill Street, two-bedroom, one-and-a-half bathroom house, 1,500 square feet, $3,700/month. We’re kind of cheating with including two listings close to downtown this week, but we couldn’t resist this 1920s Clarksville bungalow. It’s remodeled, and has downtown views, a living room fireplace, and lovely tile work in the bathroom and kitchen.
