Tucked away in the center of Avon, this 1940 cutie is anything but ordinary! A quirky, wonderful cape, it's been updated through the years to bring in plenty of "modern" while preserving the charm of its ties to the 1930s and 1940s, when Secret Lake was developed as a beach community where families could summer to escape the heat before AC was invented. No problem now: this home has mini-splits for heating and cooling, along with 7 zones of heat to assist when winter gets truly frigid! This is a spectacular RANCH ALTERNATIVE with a large ensuite main-floor bedroom! Up the Shaker staircase is another large bedroom with a half-bath offering flexibility for family, guests or roommates. In between is a spacious, handsome living room with cedar accents (non-operable fireplace), an intimate dining room and a bright kitchen w/authentic exposed brick, all protected by a 2022 ROOF! The generous.23 acre lot is private and perfect for gardening and the COVERED back patio allows for entertaining during summer storms! Oversized 1-car garage w/newer doors has space for kayaks, bikes, mower, garden tools and garbage cans! WALK TO THE BEACH where you can enjoy members-only access to Secret Lake for swimming and kayaking! Near everything you need: WALK TO THE SHOPPES AT FARMINGTON VALLEY! Secret Lake is a lake association (not an HOA) with dues of $425 annually covering snow-plowing of the roads, trash pick-up and lake insurance/maintenance. This is in a trust so there is only a lead disclosure.
