Fantastically located, walkable to hiking/biking, shopping, dining, coffee, upscale boutiques, the Farmington Valley rail trail, Fisher Meadow Recreation complex and Avon Old Farms School. Enjoy three bedrooms and a modern eat-in kitchen with easy access to highways, Hartford and all of Farmington Valley. Plenty of off street parking, plus private patio with Adirondack chairs and grill. 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. My home was built in 1800 during the pre-automobile when everything was walkable, so the home is conveniently situated walkable to old Avon village, coffee shops, dining, and the town’s still thriving Italian American Club. Take a step back in time and treat yourself to life in a home built for the early Avon leaders! This property is the second floor of one of Avon\`s few multifamily homes. The second floor, originally the homeowners servants quarters, now serves as an independent second floor three bedroom unit. Please reach out with any questions. Thank you! In 2005 Money Magazine rated Avon third safest town in America. ✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $50 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional. To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots. If you have any questions, just message us anytime!

We had a question and the property owner replied instantly - great communication. Close to Talcott Mountain which was an amazing hike with beautiful views. ##### Nicole M. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Deborah D. 9 Jan 2026 Liked: Location Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy Checked in 4 pm, housecleaner was inside, not ready until 7 pm-ish. The place was tidy, but needs a Deep Clean, the futon stained, dirty utensils in drawer, mice poop, ... Not set-up for five adults. Uninhabitable due to high heat inside, 84 degrees with window left open by cleaner. Thermostat not working. Vintage cast iron radiators heating in each room are working, very hot. Host not helpful, would not come adjust the heating system. All Guests left for hotel. VRBO support in process due to heating problem. ##### Deborah D. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2026 ### 4/10 Poor #### Alla M. 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness Location was good. But the place was dirty. There were dust everywhere: on shelves, on furniture, on refrigerator. There were dirty dishes with mildew on them in the dishwasher. When we run dishwasher it leaked. Lamp fell off the ceiling. And then we found our loaf of bread half eaten and mice droppings everywhere. Owner explained that dishwasher wasn't run properly because he didn't provide dishwasher tablets. He did brought these tabs to us and then tried to fix that dishwasher. When light fixture fell off he texted telling me that he'll come next day or the following but we never saw him anymore. ##### Alla M.
