Available for rent via Airbnb, the 2,400 square-foot space has two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The renovations include new flooring to give it an even more historic look, while updated bathrooms offer a more modern, industrial look.

One key addition was a solid brass fire pole  recycled from another station and installed in the same spot a pole once sat when the Sanford station opened in 1887.
