Set on 2 acres in a peaceful country setting, the home showcases exposed timber framing, pine flooring, vaulted ceilings, and an open, light-filled floor plan.

The kitchen flows naturally into the dining and living areas, where soaring ceilings, exposed beams, beautiful wood details, and oversized windows create an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining.

A spacious mudroom and small attached garage add everyday convenience. Upstairs, soaring ceilings continue the home's open and airy feel and complement a generous primary bedroom with walk-in closet, two additional bedrooms, and the renovated bath. Outside, the private backyard provides an inviting extension of the living space with a large patio, fire pit, gardens, and plenty of room to relax, gather, and enjoy foraging mushrooms, picking berries on the surrounding Vermont landscape.
