About this property
Lake House Living
Enjoy life in a lake cottage while maintaining short commutes and everyday conveniences at this centrally-located lake house in a quiet, mid century old-time lake community convenient to absolutely everything.
The space
This is an early 1900s guesthouse in a lake community originally built for weekend retreats from the “big cities” of Hartford and Torrington. Secret Lake was a community of weekend and summer retreats not far from traditional work places used by families in the early mid 1900’s as their get-away havens without complicated travel to far way lands. The home had a fairly low ceiling with a loft above which I raised upon purchasing. Other than that, the architecture is original. Come enjoy how life used to be in classic mid century American times.
Guest access
It’s all yours.
Other things to note
In 2005 Money Magazine rated Avon third safest town in America.
This home is centrally located, situated under a 30 minute drive to the UCONN Health Center, Hospital of Central Connecticut, Hartford Hospital, and St. Francis hospital in Hartford. Also just a 35 minute commute will bring you to Charlotte Hungerford Hospital in Torrington!
