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!

My name is Alexander, and I am a young sailor in the United States Navy. I enjoy traveling, surfing, and cool architecture. I love being a host because it gives me the opportunity to make a real impact in people’s lives. Housing can too often be unaffordable and burdened by uncertainty. My mission through hosting is to make sure that is not the case. I always try to offer affordable and fun housing, making your getaway as seamless and enjoyable as possible-because that is what you deserve and what I love to do!

This classic New England neighborhood is iconic to Connecticut. Located around the corner from the architecturally stunning private preparatory Avon Old Farms School. In 1908, when my ancestors migrated to America from Italy, they, like many Italian Americans passing through Ellis Island, Chose Avon, Connecticut to call home. At the time, Avon had a one room schoolhouse where my family was educated, and which still exists as a historical monument today. Avon has progressed from a town filled with tobacco farms, bootleggers and dirt roads to a sleek, cosmopolitan community that has maintained ties with the past. It offers golf courses, a recreational 11-mile-long bike trail, miles of hiking trails and shopping from locally owned small boutiques to the nation’s largest franchise operations. This home is in a unique position where it offers beautiful lake rights but is also situated very close to The Shoppes at Farmington Valley, coffee shops, dining, and the town’s still thriving Italian American Club. Enjoy your stay in a neighborhood where you are truly able to enjoy serene lake house living as well as centrality!
