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.
