Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from November 01, 2021
Phenomenal Avon Mountain Property is a perfect home to live, work and play in throughout the seasons! The stunning, unique architectural design, combines both contemporary and traditional elements that work in harmony with nature. Thoughtfully situated on four acres for maximum exposure to the picturesque western views of the hills and valleys of Connecticut, expansive glass throughout lets the outdoors in. Pull into the courtyard drive and be wowed by the massive stone arch entry. Once inside, the Good Morning staircase is a showstopper! The centerpiece of the home is the great room with its 18-foot-high stone fireplace, reminiscent of a Vermont ski lodge. Swim and entertain year-round in the nearly 60 foot long, fully automated pool with spa and waterfall, housed in the exquisitely designed Natatorium. Every room is a delight, from the spacious cherry and granite kitchen, with high-end appliances and butler’s pantry, to the library, outfitted in rich, wood paneling and built ins. A gorgeous porcelain terrace runs the entire width of the home with a spiral stairway down to the lower patio. The second level offers two wings containing sleeping areas, a lavish principal suite and large media/flex room. Take the stairs or elevator to the “birds nest” office, with private deck and panoramic sunset views. On the lower level you will enjoy the recreation room with stone fireplace, snack kitchen and wine room. With far too many details to mention, this is a home you must see!

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe best thing that can be said about Avon High School is that it's better than Avon Middle School. This, of course, is the lowest of bars, as AMS is a disaster, wrapped in a fiasco, inside a dumpster fire.AHS teachers range from OK to moderately above average, but barely seem interested in the students. The administration is new and underwhelming. There are lots of weird emails filled with fluff, but nothing substantive. It almost feels like the administration emails were written by a high school student at times.It may seem strange that Avon has a reputation for having good schools while having such mediocre to bad schools, but the reality is that "good schools" generally means "affluent families." Most kids from affluent families do OK regardless of school, and the corollary is that mediocre to bad schools can appear to be "good schools" if they are filled with kids from affluent families.This is Avon schools in a nutshell: a school system coasting by because most of the kids are from affluent families, and God help you if you need schools to do any more than coast.Parent Review4mo ago - Avon Middle School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHorrific. People in town will tell you that AMS is the worst of the schools, but they undersell how bad it is. Stay away if you can.Parent Review1y ago - Thompson Brook School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI've been quite shocked at the level of homophobia and general bullying in the school - it's not a very welcoming or safe environment for children. And everything is very process-driven and robotic - the school lacks close parental involvement and parental interaction with teachers and safe, which makes the school culture quite "cold" and unforgiving. All of this can be traced by to poor school culture.Parent Review1y ago - Pine Grove School
